[atalas]

Quite an amazing Helix guy's....well done indeed

[Ryderscope (Rodney)]

OMG indeed. Much fine detail to behold.

[RobF (Rob)]

Whew. Tour de force.
Wonderful image!

Congratulations M & T, a truely superb image, the depth is incredible.

I don't mind a glass or two myself but chicken wine ???

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

Peter, Simon, Humayun, Peter R, Greg, Louie, Rodney, Rob, Martin, George,

Thanks so much.

Greg and Mike, we'll probably add a bit of a sliver of a panel on the right just to even the image up a bit, for Andy C.

Humayun, it's certainly tempting to try some binned OIII and SII. No idea whether we'll see anything at all out in the far fringes. Worth a peek.

Simon, many thanks! Our boat would be bobbing gently if only it would rain. We're in a mini drought out here!

George, we've trained our two chooks and Boris the otherwise useless rooster to tread grapes. Meanwhile, we've fixed the missing commas.

Once again, thanks to everyone.

When you go to the trouble of shooting THIS deep..sheesh, t'is deeper than the Mariana! (not the spaghetti - my favourite BTW) ...why not include the whole thing??

Mike

[Peter Ward]

You've set a new bench mark for this one....for comparison I've attached an image I captured a few years ago (some 32 hours worth) with my Honders.

Your image reveals so much more!

Bravo M&T !

Will do. It would be great to know why the east and west sides of the Helix look so different. Moving through pre-existing medium? Pre-existing medium assymetrically dense?

Thanks, Peter. Took us a while to find the original of your image. It is very good.

[Camelopardalis (Dunk)]

Truly epic M&T

[Paul Haese]

Huge image scale Mike, and blitzed my effort of 60 hours with my FSQ. Size does matter. Just for comparison I have included my Ha image. This is a full res crop. Your scale and brightness is the new standard here Mike.

Oh my...

Thanks muchly Paul. Yours captures most of it, and does seem to show some additional faint material at your top left, off the screen for us.

Thanks Russell. Yes, definitely planning to add OIII and SII. Not sure that we'll be able to detect it so far out though.
