Helix from light polluted skies of Newcastle

Hi all, hadnt had a chance to image for a while but had a good opportunity the other night before the bad weather arrives. Image is 8 x 15 minutes ISO 400 with Baader UHCS nebula filter, modded 350d through the 10 inch f5.6 newtonian. Hand guided, and with Sharpcap's incredibly quick and accurate polar alingment function, I never needed to touch the dec control in any of the 15 minute subs, leaving me to just to manual RA corrections. Images calibrated and initially processed with IRIS and finished in Photoshop. Full size here
