NGC2359: Thor's Helmet.

I have been very fortunate in the past week to manage 3 part nights of imaging. Some successes and some not so successes. This is one of the surprises. Only 32min (4X8min). I've set the background very dark to try to suppress most of the noise, but what surprised me was the level of detail available in the Neb at only half an hour.

NGC2359: 4X8min SXVF-H9, Meade 8" sct @f/10, AP900, autoguiding WO72FD & DMK21 & PhD. Processing DSS and Level, curves etc CS3.
