Hi all,

Here's another Helix Nebula. I finally got a few clear nights. The seeing was not optimal during the RGB shoot, but still the image did not turn out too bad. What do you think?

AP 155 EDF f/7
AP 0.67 CCD FR
ST-8E (HaR)RGB 210:35:35:35
AstroDon filters

Any comments or suggestions?
Thanks,

hi Tom,

Beautiful colors and a really deep image. Great stuff. The Halpha is astounding in the amount of faint nebulosity and detail it shows.

clear skies,

Larry Citro
