Description

The skies clear a couple of nights and I was able to capture about 6 hours of images. Commonly called Thor's Helmet, NGC 2359 is an emission nebula in the constellation Canis Major.

This is the first time I've used 2x2 binning (1.54 arcsec/pix) for an image .

LRGB image:

L=106x120s (binned 2x2)

R=30x120s (binned 2x2)

G=30x120s (binned 2x2)

B=30x120s (binned 2x2)
