A eye on the Helix

Hi Folks,
Well between the clouds and the wind I managed to get 3 descent nights imaging . This night the transparency was average and so was the seeing and only a few small patchy clouds, so after that moon had set I aimed at the good old Helix neb....
Done 26 subs at 6min but only 22 were usable due to naughty clouds...
Overall I am quiet happy with it and if tonight is good I shall add another 2 hours..fingers crossed there!
Some minor processing work in PixInsight then the rest in PS CS.
Still learning the best way to stretch the data with the 20D as I find it slighty different to the 300D.

Image resized to 50% and cropped to post..
Cheers and thanks for looking...
Gary
