Hi Guys,

One of my fav objects is the Thor's Helmet NGC2359. Managed to capture this with the 350D unmodded last night. 12 x 8 minutes at ISO800 with the C10" F4.7. Used Baader MPCC + UHCS.

I'm pleased how it turned out in the end as I recall with my DSI experience, it looked like a snail.

Hope you guys like it.

Good to see you imaging Thor's Helmet Eric.
Tracking seems spot on to me as the stars (especially evident with Red Giants) seem nice and round.
Nice fast scope you've got there!
I found it to be a very difficult target to image personally so well done!
cheers

Very nice Eric, very nice indeed. It's good to see the return of the "imaging factory". I'm looking forward to the production line of images from the new set up.

Cheers

Thats a nice deep shot especially for an unmodded camera. The green oxygen emissions are recorded very well.
