NGC7293 (Helix) in LRGB

[barx1963 (Malcolm)]

Here is I think my most successful LRGB image to date. Consists of a mere 3x3mins subs in RGB along with 6x3mins in L. Non much exposure I know but I am finding with the system I have I can get quite pleasing results (not APOD winning I know, nut I am only really trying to please myself at this stage!) with fairly short runs.

Camera Atik One 6.0
Scope Stellarvue SV102T-IS (102mm at f5.6)
Mount Orion AZ/EQ G
Filter Astronomik LRGB set
Guiding with Orion SSAG Pro, ST80 and PHD
Captured with Atik's Artemis program
Processed in DSS and curves and levels in PS CC 2015.

Cheers

Malcolm

For such short integration it looks quite clean

[sil (Steve)]

I'd love to get as good a shot of helix myself

[Camelopardalis (Dunk)]

Got to be happy with that Malcolm

[SimmoW (SIMON)]

Yeah, I'd be very happy with that, especially as my current FL would mean that it'd look like a dust mote on my system !

[Cosmic (Daniel)]

Very promising, starting to see the outer layers just come through.

Good one Malcolm, lots of integration time will of course help even more

Thanks Andy
Getting more time on objects is going to be my next challenge! Need the weather gods to be kinder.
