Description

This is my second attempt at capturing the Thor's Helmet Nebula, the first time was with the ASI294MC Pro with the same scope but not nearly the additional focus and guiding equipment and was on a Celestron CGX mount.  This was a multi-day collection and in SHO which turned out pretty nice.

It also took me a while to process this image because it seems there are more and more scripts and processing paths in Pixinsight these days that its hard to determine which is the best for your workflow.  Overall it turned out pretty nice and I look forward to maybe processing some of my older raw data with the rapidly changing tools in PixInsight.
