90x300s RGB for a total of 7.5 hours of the Helix Nebula using a 431mm Planewave at iTelescope's observatory at Siding Spring. Prosessed in Pixinsight and Lightroom.

Love the black background which gives great contrast to the star field nebula excellent job ?

Good job on finding some clear skies down there! Lovely capture.

Excellent result, nice details. When I first saw the image I looked at your location - Sweden - and I thought No Way! Then I read further and realised data was captured from a remote setup   This object is a horizon-hugger for all of us up North!

Very nice image.

Very deep indeed for RGB. I tend to regard the extensions as narrowband material but you have them showing here.

Nice and deep and well processed - good job all round.

As Olly said gone deep enough to start to see some of the detail normally reserved for NB - rare to pick up the signal in LRGB even though some is there.  Must have great skies there...

Super color!

Wonderful image, with strong colours, and quite a few faint galaxies in the background.

I guess you sorted out the pixel issue with Bayer Drizzle?

Beautiful work. Like a giant eye in the sky.

I did, but this is actually undrizzled and captured with a B/W camera. It is already oversampled with a 16MP Kodak chip in mediocre seeing, so I don't win anything with drizzling. Maybe I would have if I went Bin2 and then drizzled. I have to try that some time.
