Helix Nebula Full Frame Image

[Hagar]

A full frame image of Helix Nebula. Compilation of 7 of 10 15 min exposures.

I must be doing something wrong as with calibration files this image was terrible so this is the undressed version.
Stacked and initial processing in IP with followup processing in CS3. The image was taken on the 6-9-2008 with a fairly bright moon.

comments welcome.

Very nice image Doug, shows good colour and the outer halo very well.

Now I like this image Doug, nice clear detail around the inside edge of the nebula fringing the "blue" zone .... well done.
