Helix Nebular

Had a go at imaging the Helix Nebular last night.
Got about almost 3 hours of data.
Had to resize it a bit to put it on here.
Includes Bias, Darks, Flats
Skywatcher Esprit 150 with asi2600mc and Optolong L-PRO filter
Needs a bit more processing work, looks a bit fuzzy on here, may be due to the severe resizing and converting to jpeg to get it on here, Looks completely different on home TV screen, but getting there.

Very nicely done, Peter. The contrast, colour and detail in your image certainly puts my effort from the other week to shame!

Regards,
V.

Lovely colourful image, Peter, of a great target. The cometary knots and other detail are def visible in the core and your palette is terrific. There's also a lot of well captured faint fuzzies in the background that I love hunting for in images - love that big, quality refractor! Alex

Appreciate the relies,
I have just got another 2.5-3 hours of extra data from last night that i want to add to it to see if it makes any noticeable difference.
First time i have imaged multiple night on the one image, just working through the process of how to actually add it.
