Dear all,

7 Helix images of 3min each at ISO1600 taken on 07-08-2005 by TEC 140 F7 APO and Canon 350D on EM200, with ST402 autoguiding.

The images are underexposed and therefore the signals are insufficient. But anyway, my 1st try on Helix.

I'm amazed at the depth of color and detail that you've gotten on this image and the NGC 253 with such short exposures, Raymond. The processing looks perfect.
I'd really like to see what you could get with more exposure time.
Did you do darks and flats? Could you give us some processing details?
Excellent work, Raymond.
