Wide-field Helix.

Hi All,

This is the first image produced from my new Observatory. The collected data was initially intended to test the setup but I continued to grab more subs over the following clear nights.

Imaging from a permanent setup is a breath of fresh air.... no more stuffing around!

Image details:

Telescope: FSQ106EDXIII @ f/5
Camera: STT-8300M
Ha 5nm 21x900, Oiii 3nm 27x900, RGB 12x300, all binned 1x1.
Darks, Flats, Bias applied.
Composition: Ha/Oiii/Oiii with RGB stars added.

Longer subs would have been better but I'll save going deeper on this target for the CDK at a later date.
