You're not missing much David, just one of the most detailed and close up shots of the Helix you will ever see
.
Lovely image Steven and thanks for sharing it with everyone, except David....

I hope Steven doesn't mind, and apologies in advance if I have crossed the line, but we couldn't do it to David.
Here ya go.

Some really good data there Steven. Bit of black clipping in the processing though. I'd say you could extract even more out of it and a little bit of JPEG artefacts in the compression. Very nice shot nonetheless.

Looking good for seeing conditions being below average if you ask me. Very good shot of what I believe is a difficult subject to do justice to.

Thanks Frank and Dave.
Although it's an improvement on previous attempts, it could have been a better. I had to water cool the CCD as the it was a warm night.
The seeing conditions plus the water surge ruined half the frames.
