Helix Nebula

Hey Guys,

I thought I would finally post an image. I took this on the 16th of Nov 2012.

It is an LRGB of the Helix Nebula through an 8 inch Vixen R200SS Newtonian. The camera is the first generation SBIG 8300M running at -15C. The filters are Baader RGB and Lum. The guide scope is a little 50mm Orion strapped to the side of the optical tube. Processing was completed using CCDStack and Photoshop.

Imaging Details
300 sec X 5 Red 2x2 Bin
300 sec X 5 Green 2x2 Bin
300 sec X 5 Blue 2x2 Bin
300 sec X 6 Lum 1x1 Bin
