Helix Nebula 2 scopes and cameras 17 hours

I took this over a couple of years. The bulk of the image is from my Planewave CDK17 with reducer at F4.45 and a FLI Proline 16803.

I added more Ha and O111 from my AP Honders and a Starlight Express Trius 694 from last week.

Processed using a new monitor (callibrator coming) and colours look quite different to on my laptop which seemed to mute colours a lot I have found.

The CDK data is very deep and shows areas of nebulosity not normally picked up.

These 2 scopes could work together well forming an image as the Honders got nicer colour and detail in the centre areas and the CDK with its large aperture got the depth of the nebulosity better. They could make a good team on some projects.
