Eye want the weather to improve Helix rework

[Nikolas (Nik)]

Eye can see you!
Helix nebula taken over many different nights and years recombined data
ZWO ASI 294mc pro TS-optics 130APO 0.75 reducer
Optolong L-Extreme
ZWO ASIAR
Skywatcher Neq6
12 hours total data will add more as the years go on
I just wish we had a run of good consecutive weather to really do this object real justice, it's a difficult target!

Eye like it. Another top capture. I am with you in regards to the weather. I have only had 7 good nights here in sunny Queensland this year.

Great image, Nik. And yeah, that does look a bit spooky...

That’s lovely - detailed and really nice colour! I feel like you’re teasing us with a 200kb version tho…

Nik,
Great result for 12 hours
It’s definitely a spooky looking Helix
Well done !!
I don’t think the last 12 months has been kind to anyone weather wise
By the time you get a window of opportunity to add more data to an existing object , it’s gone for the year ( too low heading west to the horizon or below the horizon )
I’d say I’ve only had around 15 good nights in the past year , and the year before probably more than double that figure
A year to forget in regards to AP

Cheers
Martin

It's so frustrating and on any one good night I cant do it if it's a work night as It's unpredictable leaving everything wet from dew to be covered up for the day.

Thanks everyone

I was going to add to the data last night but after I had sorted everything realised the moon was close-ish and then the clouds rolled in so meh!
