Thor's Helmet

NGC 2359, commonly known as Thor's Helmet.

A narrowband image stacked from 95 x 3 min subs in each of H and O, and 102 x 3 minute subs in S. In fact the S signal is relatively weak - when I next image this target I'll do H and O only.

Equipment: WO FLT110 with Flat4, QHY163M camera with Optolong filters in a CFW2M-US, mounted on a Skywatcher AZ EQ6-GT. Image capture was managed via SGP and PHD2 with autofocus controlled via a Lakeside Astro focus motor. All post-proc was done in PixInsight.

Taken from Prachinburi, Thailand.
