A helix by any other name...

...may be almost as sweet

2hr 20 on NGC 7293 with the DED108SS and SXVR-M25C one shot colour CCD. Taken over 2 nights from my courtyard in suburbia.

Could do with a lot more photons yet, but the detail is getting there.

Looking good, Lewis!

[Shiraz (Ray)]

Looks like it is all coming together Lewis.

It's a faint little so and so isn't it.

Nice one Lewis One of my elusive favourites. Never imaged it properly. Good to see it. Great result with the OSC

When I capture through MaxIM, it shows VERY well in the screen transfer at 100% view. If I bin it, fuggedaboutit!

This one was mostly PHD guided too (50/50 with MaxIM/PHD)

Yeah, I didn't mask the stars before stretching - mea culpa.

[LewisM]

Oh, and this one HAD a SEVERE yellow gradient through it - bloody vapour street lamps

[astronobob (Bob)]

Well done Lewis, dig the colour processing which I believe is not easy from the Burbs, did you use a filter on this at all ?
Seeing some outer shell there also, good one

[LewisM]

No filters at all. Just an SX OSC CCD and some processing tips gleaned from a few experts.

It still had a gad awful yellow gradient, which wasn't too bad to remove.

Thanks for the compliment.
