Description

NGC 2359 - Thor's Helmet

I took this image using Telescope.Live. Only 20 minutes of data using a telephoto lens, albeit a very expensive one. The luminance data was unusable so used the OIII as my luminance level. I find the Thor's Helmet nebula quite stunning so a bit sad that I haven't done much justice to this magnificent object.

Location: Rio Hurtado valley, Chile

Telescope/Lens: Nikon 200 F/2

Aperture: 100 mm (3.94 inches)

Focal Length: 200 mm

Camera: FLI ML 16200

Red: 1 x 300s (bin 1), Green: 1 x 300s (bin 1), Blue: 1 x 300s (bin 1), OIII: 1 x 300s (bin 1)
