Spent the weekend re-doing my polar alignment after returning from Astrofest. I've also been experimenting with PHD2 to see if I could improve my autoguiding. With the alignment nailed and some promising guiding results I decided to give the Helix a go in Ha and OIII with 10 min subs.
Here's 11x10min Ha and 11x10min OIII from Brissie using the Meade 80mm refractor and the QSI683. I've given it a crop. I used Don Goldman's suggested Planetry Neb colour pallet to process.
