Helix Nebula

Pulled an almost all nighter last Sat/Sunday night. Went to bed at 1:00am then got up at 4:00am to have a go at Andromeda........Coming soon. (Hopefully)

Here is my first attempt at the Helix Nebula.

Taken between 12:00am and 12:30am with the 60Da and hyperstar lens on the Edge HD C11. I tweaked the collimation on the hyperstar a bit and Im pretty pleased with the stars across the field. They're more evident in the higher rez picture's. I need the get the images up somewhere so they can be viewed.

24 minutes - 15 x 60 sec , 6 x 90 sec subs all at ISO 800. CLS filter used.

Processed in Pixinsight

Cheers

Rod
