Following the detection by AGILE (ATel #2855) of enhanced gamma-ray emission from a source positionally consistent with the Crab Nebula, and subsequently confirmed by Fermi/LAT (ATel #2861), we requested and performed a ToO Chandra/ACIS-S3 observation (ObsID 13139). We observed for 5ks using a custom window and a 0.2s frame time. Under these conditions, all of the Nebula, except the 2 arc-second region surrounding the pulsar, is observed with Chandra resolution.
