Thank you
@blackrig for making this data accessible! I enjoyed it very much to process the Helix Nebula - an object i liked to capture for ages, but here it never rises more than 10° above horizon, so nothing happened. Until Moana.
Blackrig writes: "The Helix Nebula (also NGC 7293 or Caldwell 63) is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Aquarius. It is one of the closest to the earth of all the bright planetary nebulae." It is also the largest planetary nebula as seen from earth, giving the opportunity to capture fine details, as blackrig did in his data.
