Helix NGC7293 Planetary Neb

Using data collected from the ASWA Dryandra Astro Camp, WA.
Conditions were quite exceptional all night Friday; seeing could have been a little better. Imaged from 9pm - 4am on a few targets, but unfortunately some problems kept popping up through the night with guiding and temp drops causing focus shift. Only 40% of data usable, but a good moonless dark sky for once and lessons learned as always.

Scope: VC200L F/9
Camera: QHY9 (-25c) with Baader HaLRGB filters
Guiding: Orion ST80 with QHY5
Mount: Losmandy Gemini G11
Data: 100mins Lum, 30mins RGB, 40mins Ha; cropped

Need to acquire alot more color, Ha and Lum to get the details and contrast needed.
