Between the miserable weather over Feb-April I managed to get some shots of Thor's Helmet using ASI1600MM on Skywatcher 200CF. Its ~7/5 hours each of 4min Ha/Oiii subs, plus 30-40min each of RGB subs for stars. Don't know that the extra Ha helped much as its still noisy.

Just a jpeg now before I try putting on astrobin. Tried the GHS stretching for this after watching Adam Block's youtube on it. It's a cool process! Not as nice as Doogs38's (https://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?p=1623653) recent attempt but thanks for looking.

What was the total integration, maybe the JPEG image is not doing your effort justice :)

It's 12 hours total Ha + Oiii. Probably my processing that's not doing it justice!

Chris that’s looking really nice. For the integration you’ve gone super deep picking up tonnes of Oiii there but perhaps overpowering the Ha in the mix a bit? I’d also love to see this in higher res to see all the juicy detail :)
