NGC 7293 the Helix nebula

[broca]

This always seems to be my "go-to" nebula when I am trying to knock the rust off the gear and get back into imaging and processing mode. This is my first time combining Ha and OIII data using the QSI wsg-8 and first time using OAG. It only took troubleshooting the Gemini-2 (new FW) and getting the Gemini.net ASCOM driver to behave with the SkyX but here it is for this year... 
NGC 7293 the Helix nebula 
Constellation Aquarius 
~700 light years distant 
Ha 20min subs totaling 1 hour and 20 minutes. 
OIII 20 min subs totaling 2 hours. 
QSI 683 wsg-8 
Losmandy g11 Gemini II 
AT8RC 
Taken September 26 and October 5, 2013

very impressive, one of my favourite deep sky images. you have done a very good job on it, certainly no evidence of being ring rusty!

[ollypenrice]

Exquisite resolution. Really impressive. If you go nuts on collecting data you'll go deeper but, by Gad, you have some detail in there! Lovely.
