They're all great. The second tiny planetary is visible in the M46 shot on the far left just above the 9 o'clock position. Nice sharp and well coloured stars with a good level of sky background. I wouldn't have thought to try for Thor's Helmet with this scope but it's come out well. Did you use minimum filter on the stars in the eta photo?
Hi Rigel! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

No, just done from my suburban backyard. Thor's Helemt would come out much better with more data and possibly some Ha to blend in as well, which would pick up some more of the the faint backgroung nebulosity associated with the object.

Ummm......yes...I did use a minimum filter on Eta.
