its every nightmare that you could imaging - intermittent fog, smoke, light pollution from far and wide, a layered atmosphere of crud and next door neighbours from hell. its not pretty and it will win no malin's but i did it, its mine, i got the bugger. slightly cropped due to the fog (lost the guide star then reacquired it) and slightly eggy stars due i think to a poor choice of guide settings . 4h 10min (lost over 2 hours with other problems of fog.....) iso 800 cooled canon40D through a CLS filter in a 127ED.... i give you the Frankenstein Helix......
