Helix Nebula

Man is this nebula a hard target to image.

Couple of things here, first of all it is faint, so faint it is not funny; and as a result I am gonna need to do really long subs to get this one out bright. That means sorting out some minor flexure issues I have with the scopes. Second, Alex I owe you an apology. My RC secondary dewed up last night for the first time. Only really late in the piece and just enough to dim the images. Time for a dew shield I think or one of my dew straps.

Happy with the image but could always be better.
