The Helix Nebula - NGC7293

[Comet Hunter]

This 90 minute image of the Helix Nebula is my first attempt at DSO imaging. :)

Taken last night. It consists of 3x 10min subs of each filter.
Dark and Bias calibrated @ -15C.

FSQ106-ED
ST2000XM
Ha, SII, OIII mapped as RGB.

I'm keen to come back to this data at a later time once I've honed my processing skills a bit to see how much more I can get out of it.

Nice big bright image mate !Well done

Tracking good, with nice round stars, and plenty of detail, but I reckon the saturation of color is a bit high, however a nice capture.

Nicely done there:D:D

Try it as Sii Ha Oii or Ha Oii Sii ... You might find a better result.

Hi Andrew, for a first attempt at DSO that is a very good image. Nice and bright with excellent tracking.

Will look forward to more from you.

All the best.

[Alchemy]

for a first attempt thats one fine image, usually the first is an eta or an M42.... youve jumped right in the deep end to start, well done.

Nice clean image Andrew, The colour seems a bit unusual but the capture, guiding and resolution is very good. The outer ring / hallo is quite visible.

Well done.

Thanks for the comments and tips everyone. I've still got a lot to learn, particularly the processing side of things. The biggest problem at the moment is the image looks different on each monitor I've got here. :doh:

Robin, here's Ha OIII SII for you.:whistle:
