Ngc7293 - Helix Nebula

Hi All

With a full moon burning brightly in clear skies I was ambitious to try this target. However I wasn't feeling real tired as it came into my scopes f.o.v. at around 4am so I had a go. Quite pleased with the outcome but I'll be having another crack with darker skies in a week or two.
I also shot 7 frames of M16 before meridian flip wrecked the composition so if it's any good I'll post it later when I finish processing.



1 hour total exposure, 12x300sec subs, auto guided ST2000XCM, SW 200mm F5 Newt, MPCC, UV/IR, LPS2

p.s. Got to bed just after 6am
