NGC6188 and Helix

[sadia]

A couple of incomplete images, but that's the best I could manage in this weather.

Scope: TSA102 with reducer
Filter: 3nm Astrodon filters
CCD/Guiding: STL11k self guided
Exposure:
Helix: 9x 30min ha;
NGC6188: 3x 20min Ha; 2x 20min OIII; couldn't get SII so tried some crazy layering in PS to get some sort of color out of it.

Managing anything in this weather is problematic Sadia. You've done well with both. The waether can't be like this forever!!!!!!!!

Well, they're like chaulk and cheese these too huh?

Out there colours on the fighting dragons :eyepop: and some very outer detail is peeking through on the Helix, nice work.

Great work Sadia. NGC6188 in particular has drawn me back a few times. The richness of the OIII data really shines even if we're only talking 40mins data for the channel. Colour confidence. Interested to see the final result of this image. Should be a stunner.

No comment on the weather. Rather dismal, though the last couple of nights appeared to cooperate alas out of the 12hrs collected, I'll probably be scrapping 10.

Very impressive photos Sadia.

Thanks.
