Geeday H0ughy,

That's a very interesting question, one that I have also been asking myself.

No, I don't think it is glow from the amplifier since this imaged is cropped from the original and the original image quite plainly showed the amp. glow on one side of the image in the usual spots.

I think there are two possibilities.

1. it may be red-channel colour-noise produced as a side effect of the image processing I did.

2. it might be extended nebula from the Helix ?

Number 1 would be my first guess. Having said that, it doesn't explain why this "red noise" isn't on the other side of the nebula.
