Description

Here's a first post from a recently acquired new rig. Not first light but I have had some weeks now to familiarize with the C925EdgeHD and my new EQ6R mount. I am finally happy that I can maintain consistent guiding to pull some decent nights of imaging. This is my take on a HOO bicolor representation of the NGC7293 Helix Nebula or sometimes known as 'The Eye of God'. Played around with the pixelmath in PI to get a color rendition that is pleasing to the eye (pun intended). Hope you enjoy it! Clear skies

Shot over 4 nights total integration just over 8 hours from my Bortle 6 backyard just before full moon
