Nice work Rich, this is really good.
You are clearly in similar weather conditions to me by the sounds of it. I never truly understood your rantings in the past when I lived in Canberra, I believed you but just didn't appreciate the hardships you were going through..I do now though!
I like your choice of colour balance on this Helix although it appears just slightly green on my moniter (have I said thisto you before..?
) and it is interesting to compare this rendition to the one I did with our combined data.

Mines more blue/red (probably not all that natural really but I seem to be drawn to that colour sceem for some inane reason?
). The addition of Ha clearly brings out more detail in the nebulosity though huh?
I admire your tenasity and I am with you in spirit when ever you are struggling with the blasted coastal elements now
By the way, when I was at your site looking at the Helix I noticed the NGC 6744 image - it's a beauty mate! Yeh every image just about could do with more data but I like your colour balance on this one, nice work again!
Yours in conditions missery
Mike
