Helix 53.5 Hours
Here is my FSQ Helix Bi-Narrowband final processing combine. The small telescope experiment is over. Time for a much bigger telescope on this object. Stll, the little "light sipper" FSQ did a remarkable job IMO.

Great stuff John! Love the colours as well as the depth. It's amazing how much there is there when you go deep.

Looks like you are starting to get the hang of this imaging business John.
One of the most beautiful images I have seen.

53.5 hours?!
That is incredible! Great image.
Can you get to a point where going any deeper no longer adds to an image?

Limited perhaps by the sky background overwhelming the faint features.

Holy Halos, that is the deepest Helix I have seen, you get a sense of its structure and its closeness to us. Those long subs and all that time and dedication, background a little red but unbelievably strong detailed halos.

What a great effort, and the image speaks for itself. Lots of faint detail and I very much like the colours of the Helix in this image.
