Astrofest 2019 - Widefield Helix

[multiweb]

This one was a filler shot because after midnight the milkyway is going lower west and the helix is in a good position. Unfortunately I only got one night on it. 17x5min. The field is in focus and there are stacks of background galaxies so it would have been a real cool field if it was deeper with less noise so will revisit for sure.

Nice, supple, and yes needs more data but it is a great shot, very pleasing to the eye

Needs a more grunt but still a nice image Marc

Thanks David. :thumbsup: The plan was to shoot this Wednesday and Thursday nights. I got to shoot one sub Thursday night :lol: Come Friday I went to bed around 1:00am. Had to drive the same morning so it didn't take me too long to hit the sack. I was quite motivated. :zzz:



Thanks Martin. :thumbsup:

Nice overall colour, great fidelity and star size, colour and shapes and NO star redaction. Central star torus shows, background galaxies visible...What's not to like?

Well done.
