Doubling integration time to 11 hours made no difference but the SNR helped reduce the background artefacts a bit more.
Thanks Gary,
Yeh it’s a hard one this Helix as with most faint targets under heavy LP.
I’ve captured more Ha last night and tonight , so when I get some time I’ll process a new version just in Ha and see how it compares.
Cheers
