Description

Captured this on 11-12 Feb 2023 at the OKCAC Observatory near Watonga, OK. Beautiful night; cold, calm and clear! This was taken with my Vaonis Stellina. 90 minute session. 540 auto stacked images, 10 sec frames. I believe this is the best shot of Thor’s Helmet I’ve gotten. It’s been surprisingly difficult to get a good image of it. But conditions were right last night. No post processing.
