Just some luminance shots of the Helix and Dumbell planetaries from last night. The Dumbell is 4x5min shots and the Helix is 4x8min shots. No darks or flats. Simple levels and curves in Photoshop. Some of the star cores are burnt out so next time I'll use less exposure but more of them.
It as more a trial than anything else, but I was quite surprised with the results for an entry level cooled camera.
ATiK & Orion ED80, autoguided, images registered and stacked (average) in Registar, processed in Photoshop - levels and curves only.
