Your image has beautiful colour and very strong hints of detail - well done mate. As someone explained to me in a post here; there’s much detail to be extracted in and around the core of the nebula but it can take some fiddling in post-processing to extract that detail. Looking forward to seeing this image develop as you get more data. Alex
Cheers Alex. I get hints of it too while I'm processing but often lose it tweaking something else. I've started on 30 secs last night but the Helix didn't clear my horizon before the fog set in.
