The Ultimate Helix..?

Well you knew I'd come up with something else, huh

Josch Hambsch kindly asked me to combine our deep data sets into a single image to give a total exposure time of 35hrs across 7 filters (L SII Ha OIII R G B) and the result is well...mind blowing if I may say so?

Big file (4.5meg) but worth the wait! - all details under the image

Hit F11 on your keyboard for an unobstructed full screen view and try zooming out using the + and - buttons in your browser window (bottom right corner of your screen)

NB. The focal length of the two scopes are only 1140mm and 1500mm respectively...so as I have said before, who needs long FL?

Mike
