Helix season

[whzzz28]

3hrs of Helix.

This came out much better than expected. Roundish stars for once, although there appears to be a triangle missing from the star glow on all stars...

Never the less i am happy with this.

Looks good, Nathan!

Are you up at Duckadang? Getting good weather, I hope!
Save some photons for me. I'll be coming up on Friday.

Cheers,
Rick.

I have come back early.

Had camera issues the night before, seem to have got it fixed now with a bit of drying out. I also appear to be sick, or getting a cold or something. Head is a million degrees.

Helix was only a filler whilst i waited for ngc6744 to cross the meridian, but its probably one of the best images i got.
ngc6744 is a comedy of problems so i won't be bothering with the data i got for it.

Hope you're felling better soon. NGC 6744 is a difficult target!
