Helix Nebula (narrowband)

Narrowband SHO image. This is a quick process on a fairly small dataset. Lots of potential so hope to get more data to add shortly. SII: 9 x 300s, Ha: 12 x 300s, OIII: 12 x 300s.

Nice job, Nik, with the new CMOS images! Yours is the standard against which ours is always compared.

A bunch of people processed this data set and in my opinion this is by far the best image. It would be great to learn what you did. I'm going to revisit mine now that I can se what's possible.

Thanks very much Mark! Your kind words are much appreciated. 👍👍
The new 'Xterminator' tools from Russ Croman have been total game-changers and coupled with the high-quality data from TL allow the production of images we could have only dreamt about a few years back!
Thanks again.
Nik
