Description

First take on the Helix over the course of four consecutive all clear nights.
It sits pretty low from my location so I had to move my rig to the roof of my garage. And still, you shoot through the atmosphere. This and the fact that there are very few stars around the Helix, guiding becomes a challenge.

Even though I collected 12 hours of data, I still had to push the image intensively to get the faint nebulosity around the Helix to come out.
