Helix Nebula - Request for Help/Advice
Hi all
Not really a "share" thread, more a request for info from others who have shot this faint target.
I've been playing about with it today, and am not really anywhere near ready to share the final image. In fact, I've decided that this is going to be a multi-year project because I'd like to capture as much SII as possible, but it's really faint!
But my question is around any potential faint Ha regions around this object. I never really see any in other images. I tend to see varying degrees of stretching of the object itself, but I always see it sitting in a dark background.
Maybe I just didn't do a good enough job on DBE, but I sure tried!! I've shared a starting-progress image here. Has anyone seen these fainter Ha regions around this object or have I just stuffed up somehow? Probably the latter, but I'm just curious.
