Description

At my nearly 46 degree latitude North, the Helix nebula barely pops up at just over 23 degrees, and skirts between trees and is over Portland Oregon city light dome.  Not an easy target for me.  But over four nights, capturing about 1-2 hours of exposures per night, I managed to get enough data to get some of the nebulosity to come out.
