Hi IIS Fam,

We bagged another last night, our third DSO, this time the NGC 7293 Helix Nebula.

Not as impressive as a lot of other imagers, but we do the best we can with this little 50mm as we learn the sky. Probably need to look at upgrading the camera.

This is only about 15-17 mins of data in total. But, as stated last time, with a manual ALT AZ mount this can be a PITA. Captured in the Adelaide southern suburb skies.

Location: Adelaide Southern Suburbs
Sky: Bortle 5
Seeing: Average with partial cloud
OTA: 50mm f/4.8
Mount: ALT AZ
Camera: Player One MC IMX462
Filter: ZWO Duo Filter
Stacked .FIT Files: 140
Software: Siril and tried PS a little

I am not too sure about the PS work/processing! Still needs more data/work and as always still lots of learning with online tutorials and videos.

These are fairly low resolution images and look a lot better when viewed smaller!

Regards

James & Helen
