Gee that made a difference. Much darker
sky background and much improved contrast
without that annoying greyness and speckling.
There also seems to be more detail in the PN's
centre. Not sure about the delicate filamentary
edges, maybe some detail lost there, but that
area seemed to merge into the background
a bit. Very good result.
Well, it's dark outside, a might have a bit
of a session. Cheers, Paul.

Yes my processing skills are extremely basic. I’ve attached another I triedto
remove more of the background digital noise. I’m using fairly short exposures
but the ISO was up at 1600 which will introduced a bit of noise. Was hoping to
have another go tonight but she is blowing a gale out thereat present. Got a
call from Isaac today, my mirror is finished and ready to freight back.With any
luck they picked it up today and it will be back up here tomorrow.If so I shoot
over to Goonellabah and pick it up. So get ready for a wet weekend : (

Subject: [nswnra] Re: Helix Nebula Hi Rob, That looks pretty good, tracking
seems OK.There seems to be a bit of what I suppose is"digital noise" - if
that's the right term -in the background. Just need a minus10 degree
refrigeration unit - just joking. Well done.Beware the lure of the Dark Side

days ago I setup my EQ5 mount to do some solar observing and wassurprise I got
the alignment spot on, tracking the sun all day without adjustment. So that
night I thought I might throw the camera on it and try a bit of imagining. But
by evening it started raining so the mount got covered and sat there for afew
days. Last night it amazingly cleared up beautifully but then the dangneighbour
(not Vince) lit a fire to burn off some rubbish after dark sendingsmoke right
across my yard Grrrrr!!!! which eventually died down later. Anyways I managed
my first ever DSO image, a series of 10 x 2 minute exposures of the Helix. Not
the greatest but I was pretty happy how it turned out. Took a bunch of SMC but
once I got them on the lappy the focus was out. hope you all are keeping dry.
