Another Helix

Taken over 3 nights on 8" F5 Newt with ASI071.
I first processed with DSS then Startools but wasn't very happy with. So I've got a Pixinsight trial.

This was a major learning curve (I mean still is ...). But I really like it. I've followed the workflow on

Is this a reasonable place to start?

Did the sub selection, registration and stacking with PI. I really like this - it showed me that only the first night had good SNR. So out of 8.5 hours I've only used 4 hours for this. Here is the first go at processing in PI. I've still got to work on the background more (and the Helix for that matter).

Comments please
