C11 - Helix core Ha

Here's my shot from Sunday night. C11 at prime with QHY9 and 7nm Baader Ha filter. Subs were 10min, just a bit over 4h with a meridian flip in the middle. Couldn't find a good guide star after the flip on the western side so I had to offset the whole FOV to the right and ended up cropping only the half that had the helix in it. Still, I got all the interesting bits. Bit of stuff up with the guider OAG spacing at the beginning of the night and trying to focus it so lost a bit of time.

I used CCD Stack to calibrate and register, startools and Goodlook, then PS for a bit of noise reduction and added some cool spikes "a la RC". The moon wasn't too far but at that FL it's quite easy to deal with it.
