That damn Helix

Well here's my Helix nebula. This one beat me, I just don't know what I can do anymore. Every attempt to take a decent photo of it has resulted in little of the Helix being visible through the light pollution or poor transparency of the day.

In the end I combined every effort to make this 6h exposure. The crappy Ha response of my camera make it for a very different looking Helix. It took several attempts to process it and still ended up with noise.

Think it's time to move on and find something else to take a photo of.
