Helix Again,

[diegocolonnello (Diego)]

Not as deep as others but getting better details on it, i am far far behind from the photos i have seen here but hey, i can always collect more data right?

(i did the numbers and in order to get something like the other photos i have seen here, i need something like 100 hours) hahahaha

Note: looks better if you stand 5 meters away from the screen, or, watch it in your cell phone :-)

Well at four hours you’ve still only got another 96 to go Diego so get crackin’
It still looks good, more data will help with smoothing out what’s already there but mostly for going deeper into the outer fainted bits.

Not deep but shows some nice detail, Diego.

Looks fantastic on a 10" iPad screen ��

I think that's good Diego. Certainly has nice detail and rich colour.

Very nice image a bit more detail would have been good but still a good image
and at least your image does not look like a red bushfire.
