Default ASTRO: Helix

A bit out of season. I'd forgotten about this one on the hard drive.
Seeing was lousy and it needed a lot more exposure time. So I never
processed it. With the tools I had at the time that was impossible. I
reduced it to half size to hide the seeing. No resolution was lost in the
process and it saves bandwidth. Only a hint of the outer shell is there.
This was in white light. It is really too low for my 47 degree location.
It takes a special night for seeing to work that low.

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".


That looks great. Oh, wait. That's a blank page. lol
