Decided to give Thor's Helmet a go last night. Your pic Scott inspired me to give Thor's Helmet a go since it is a hard object. Doesn't look like a helmet argh well. might try again tonight.
Well done, Im glad I helped inspire you to go after challenging objects like this. Youve recorded the bubble quite nicely. The "wings" are red and thus mostly from Hydrogen Alpha light and can be much harder to record. Keep up the good work.

here is my effort (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060202.html)with the handheld box browny with my dog trying to pull my shoe off. hand stacked and randomly distributed with poker deck, then multi poofed aligned with a cattle prod.
Your going ahead in leaps and bounds. Does your DSI have the IR filter in it? If Thor's Helmet is mainly Ha then maybe try it without the IR filter. It'd be interesting to see how it looks anyway.
Eric, you should be able to remove the IR filter by unscrewing the nosepiece. The filter is mounted on a round piece of plastic held by the nosepiece. Be very careful if you have an older model DSI where the filter is mounted on glass. You can crack the filter if you tighten up the nosepiece too tight.
