That is just ridiculously good Suavi. Well done--one of the best Helix pictures of all time!
A bit of gentle noise reduction might help with the grit.

Thank you Mike. Yes, a pretty tough object to process in a different way from HOO.

Really nice. How do you get 203 hours of sky time in Proserpine? Always cloudy here a few km south.
Thank you Kevin. Don't know - I think it is generally drier in Proserpine than in Mackay.

Thank you Geoff. Tried gentle noise reduction, but generally I think I stretch this data too much.
I liked version 2 also Suavi over the other two. I am sure you will go over this more with colour and luminance data too.
I also found the background a pain too when I imaged this target. It just did not want to smooth out due the amount of stretching. That aside you have an interesting depth to the image. I am sure you will find a combination your like.
Definitely the deepest image with a 4 " getting around.
Wow! That's some serious acquisition time but the results speak for themselves. Amazing!!!
Glad you like it. Collecting data was quite satisfying, in particular that the gear was working flawlessly.

Thank you Paul. I used yours, Rick's, Andy's and Mike and Trish's excellent images as a guide. Not as easy path to follow processing wise for sure.

Amazing for a 105mm scope. I guess .99 strehl does mean what we all think it means.
Greg.
Thank you Greg. The driver has yet a lot to learn, but the rig makes data acquisition an easy ride for sure.
