Description

This is my first attempt to image Thor's Helmet and was imaged using a total of 55 ten minute SHO narrowband frames.   it was imaged over several nights in December and January with a 160mm APO refractor.  It could probably benefit from a few more hours of exposure and I will reprocess, if I'm able to gather them.

Title: Thor's Helmet in SHO - using StarNet 2

Description: This update takes advantage of additional frames, for a total of 93 ten minute frames. Also used StarNet 2 to treat DSO and surrounding stars separately which allowed me to de-emphasize the stars and raise the profile of the DSO.
