Thors helmet

Hi all
Intended to do 1 or even 2 hours on it but cloued decided it was only going to be 30 mins.
2x15 mins ISO 400, Idas UV/IR and Baader UHCS filters, modded 350D. 10 inch f5.6 Newtonian off axis hand guided.
Polar alingment needs to be redone as recent rain wets the ground causing it to expand moving the mount slightly, as I had to do some slight dec adjustments. I need to dig deeper and concrete it in securely.
Not too bad for just 2 shots I guess.

I think you'll find that you can pull out more detail from the upper right of your image. I downloaded it and tried some levels and curves adjustments. The result was horrible, since the image is only 150k and jpg, but it was encouraging enough to suggest you could get something more out of the original pic.
