My Humble Attempt at the Helix

Hi Guys, last night turned out pretty reasonable, but the clouds did roll in at about 1 am.

It took me ages to get a guide star, and wasted at least 45mins of good imaging time but I was determined to have a crack at this one, however only 5 frames into the run the clouds appeared.

So here we have a full widefield, and a half crop of the same image.

It was captured at 400 ISO, @ 7 min's each, through the Tak and modded 5D, auto guided with the WO 80mm FD, and the G11.

Processed in Image Plus, flats applied, and touched up a little in PS2.

Please feel free to comment either way, thanks for looking.

Leon
