The clouds are killing me....

...so I did a reprocessing of the Helix Nebula. Data from Australia and USA.

I hope you like it.

Amazing - almost looks like some sort of pink space worm reaching up towards you - has a 3D appearance. I didn't realise there was that much faint material surrounding the Helix. Most people only bring out an arch of this material.

Hope the sky there starts playing ball again soon

Clear skies for a week, but sick with the flu, now we have rain so I know how you feel, another fine rendition of an interesting object

It's gorgeous Tom.
The depth of the image is extraordinary. It really draws you in.

That's a definitive work there Tom. I like the FOV you have chosen.

That's the best Helix I have seen anywhere.

Greg.
