Thor's Helmet (NGC 2359) v2.0

[SkyViking]

Hi All,

I decided to give my previous Thor's Helmet image (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=102159&highlight=thor%27s+helmet) an overhaul, using some of the techniques I learned while processing my recent 120 hour Centaurus A image.
I think the result is a major improvement and better emphasises the nebula and the galactic cirrus in the background - but see what you think?

Link to high resolution version (http://www.rolfolsenastrophotography.com/Astrophotography/Nebulae/25312426_jC3jWq#!i=2326279965&k=FLzwd5r&lb=1&s=X3)

Attached is a preview of both versions for reference.

Regards,
Rolf

Seriously, excellent improvement Rolf and a lovely rendition of this little beauty :thumbsup:

Nice work Rolf; you've definitely picked up some fainter nebulosity there.

Yes that is definitely an improvement. What did you do differently?
