The background is a bit whack but thats ok. Its what I get for imaging on a school night! Also I dont know what happened to the red fringe in the bottom left

Hi Lachlan

Good effort and a great start.

Have a look at Astrobin IMOTD
and Igor's result https://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=194630

You can see that it takes a lot of time and good processing to reveal the detail.

Back up your data and add to it next year.

Well done :thumbsup:

You should be proud of this Lachlan, well done. I hope to also capture the helix nebula next year.

Thanks everyone! Really happy with it. Wished I could have gotten more data on it to pull out that detail! School did await the next day!
