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. 14" LX200R@f/10, 6x5 min binned 2x2, STL-11000M, Paramount ME Rick -- Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct. Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh". |

My ISP has nearly killed this group after that idiot spammed it with many megabytes of stuff taken from others. This may be part of their purge. I used to have three months of posts, now there are only about half of what he posted (as best as I can tell) and those posts since then. Really a bummer.

And he posted the same pdf file at least 4 times! I've had problems posting in the last few days, but it turned out to be a problem with an update to my firewall. I had to disable a feature on it until the next update. George |
