Nice work.

I can see what looks like dust or black spots over certain parts of the image. Looks like a processing artifact with calibration frames.

Would you mind turn the image 180 degrees? The image will look better I think.

Colours look very similar to Rob Gendler's image. I am assuming this comes from using the L for Lum instead of what I used with Ha. Interesting look to it if that is the case.

Well done.

Thanks for the feedback.

Here's the Helmet in a more natural orientation.

I admit it looks better.
