Thor’s Helmet

Here is a Hydrogen-alpha narrow-band image of Thor’s Helmet:
http://home.att.net/~dpersyk/new.htm

Eighty minutes in 20-minute subframes with E160 at f/3.3 and SXV-H9 camera, Schueler H-a filter. Guided with MX716 on NP101.

It reminds me of the Bubble. It doesn’t look like a helmet to me.

I am a bit reluctant to post this image as the stars are a bit fat, due to either my poor focusing or bad seeing, or both. Hopefully I’ll do a better job next year when it comes around again.

Thank you for visiting my site.

Clear skies,
