Helix

Hi Guys

This is taken from Glebe under a near full moon. This time I used my Astronomic UHC filter and found a gigantic dust bunny during processing. Also there was a lot of gradient. So I created a synthetic flat and also used gradientXterminator.

Not real happy with the night, tried for about 3 hours to get Pempro working, then tried Ha narrowband on M20 but just couldnt get guiding working. I nearly gave up but thought I would give the Helix a go, got 3 and a bit subs and then my batteries ran out .

Anyway

3 by 600 sec subs, darks plus flats, UV/IR block, Astronomic UHC
TV85, TV 0.8 reducer on EQ6, self guided with SBIG 2000 XCM
Levels and Curves PS2, Sum combine in Maxim
GradientXterminator, Synthetic flat, neatimage
40 % compression, reduced to 1024px.

Thanks for looking, any comments appreciated.
