A Couple of Takahashi Widefields

Hi Guys, couldn't resist the clear night and wanted to do the Helix again, but while waiting for it to rise a bit more decided not to wast the clear skies and did a few frames of M7.

This one of the Helix Neb has a few more frames than the previous one I did the other day so I hope there is an Improvement.

So here we have Two un-cropped wide fields though the Tak and modded 5D, both at 400 ISO, The Helix is 9 exposures @ 7mins each, and M7 is 10 @5 min's each, on the G11 and autoguided.

I just love the Helix Nebula in a wide field just hanging out there in the vastness of space.

Processed in Image Plus and a little fix up in PS2.

Thanks for looking, and please feel free to comment.
