Helix Nebula

[EzyStyles]

Took this on saturday night total of 1 hour 18 minutes . I wasnt about to post this as i'm not that impressed with this shot. there were quite alot of noise which i had to remove causing the lost of details. Flats and darks were not used as i forgot all about it :( dohh! have to try again some other night.

Still it didn't come out too bad, nice try!! remember darks and flats next time : )

Cripes Eric, you are too modest, it is a ripper. I tried it myself last week, and it was nowhere as good as that. The Helix is a VERY difficult target.

You would've been well-pleased with that shot not less than 2 months ago Eric! :) Shows how far you've come.

Thats a great shot Eric,
great work.

cheers

Still a nice image Eric,

You have lost a fair bit of the faint neb detail due to over processing and darkening of the back groud but I can also understand why this was done to get a nice looking result.

The helix is not that easy to image.

cheers guys thanks. i will definitely give this object another shot next week when the weather clears up abit. this time hopefully i'll remembered to take some flats/darks.

Wow thats great, especially the colour. The modded cameras though more red sensitive dont seem to be able to reproduce the gorgeous aqua colours of the centre that yours has done. Great imaging and processing

Thanks andrew and scott. Maybe the UHC-S Filter + unmodded makes that aqua colour? *shrugs*
