NGC7293 The Helix Nebula

NGC7293 The Helix Nebula, data from April to June 2015. 810 x 30 seconds, Baader Semi-Apo and Astronomik CLS filters, HEQ5 Pro unguided, Pentax K-5. Bigger at Astrobin. ---> http://astrob.in/188560/0/

My longest (total) exposure to date of 6.8 hours. It's taken 6 nights with this stupid weather since April to get this much data. It's been the wettest winter we've had for many years. Can see some of the outer loop.

I put some pavers in the backyard so I can setup the scope without it sinking into the ground.
