NGC 2359 Thor's helmet

NGC 2359 (also known as Thor's Helmet) is a bright emission nebula in the constellation Canis Major. Just to the east of Sirius, so well placed for imaging from early evening.

The clouds parted for a while last night so I managed to get 22 x 2min subs at iso1600 on this target. There is plenty of faint stuff there that will come out with longer integration time.

10" F4.8 newt, Heq5 pro, Canon 1100d unmodded, guided with zwo120mc and 50mm finder guider.
