HELIX NEBULA with Baader UHC-S Filter - One of my best!

Hi Guys,

Just finished my first processed image with the Baader UHC-S Filter. Wowww! what can i say? It doesn't look like it came from a DSI-C at all. This has to be one of my very best pic I have ever imaged.

The UHC-S filter really darkens the background yet brightens the nebula entirely also removing over exposured star bloats. While using the filter in an eyepeice, you can actually spot nebula glows quite easily. This makes observing as well as imaging so much easier to find the object. Also now after using the filter, there were hardly any processing done to the final stacked image.

The image was 21 x 84 second exposure stacked in registax. processed in photoshop cs2 with darks auto subtracted.

Comments welcome.
