Helix

It has been a busy couple of weeks and with last night presenting some more clear skies I could not resist imaging a few more targets. This image really needs a heap more data but it will have to wait until next month now with the moon waxing. Still for the little amount of data I am quite happy with how this image worked out. There is some background noise, but the detail is there. I would like any suggestions on how to capture the outer halo to the top of the image. It is very faint and I am already doing Ha subs of 20 minutes. Is this a narrow band thing? Does it need SII or OIII?

Click here for image.

Comments welcome.

BTW I know the background is a little blue. It is hiding the green noise and not very well at that.
