Description

Here is a rendition of the Helix Nebula in HaRGB done with HyperStar.

Tough to get the color right on this and I think some Oiii would really help with the detail in the center portion of the nebula. If time and weather permit, I think I will add some Oiii using my 120mm acromats as it is a similar FL to the HyperStar and makes really nice Oiii images. I was pleased to see some cometary knots in the image...

This planetary nebula is one of the closest to the earth at about 650 ly and is approximately 10,600 years old.. (Wikipedia)

Any comments/criticism/suggestions welcome and Clear Skies to all!
