NGC7293-Helix Nebula

[charmec (Manuel)]

Everyone
Well this is my first time putting a pic on here and thought I would share one of my first pics using my new set up.
The scope is a planewave CDK14 and it’s mounted on a 10 micron GM2000.
At the moment using a zwo2600mm but will go to full frame next year.
Target is good old Helix and this is around 18 hours of data in LRGB and Ha, combination of 180-300- and 600 second exposures over 3 weeks of good weather.
I used a full set of Antlia V-pros and 3nm filters.
No guiding was used for the pic

Excellent colour. Nice to see those tiny galaxies peeping though the nebula too.

Lovely helix Manuel! You have picked up some nice detail on the cometary knots. Are you running your CDK unguided in the 10Micron? CS, Mat

Thanks Mat and yes I do all my pics with the CDk and 10 micron mount un guided with no problems.
