Description

My first attempt at the Helix Nebula. It could use more focal length and a better location to image from. Still a really neat looking object. I seemed to have lots of green in my image which looked better to me when I left some of it in. There are so many variations of the Helix online that it is hard to know what it truly looks like. My OSC has a hybrid Hubble Pallet look to it. And I never could get my star colors to look right. Anyway, here it is, and a big thank you to Sektor for inspiring me to shoot the Helix We were curious the difference between many short exposures and fewer long exposures. But we may have found the difference in the filters used. And there is always processing.
