helixnebula_std175_5f

First target from Okie-Tex this past week. I was able to image 2 targets per night over multiple nights. Had some PC problems and slight breezes affects my system so had some issues with tracking hence it took 3 nights for this target. 27 x 5min subs. DSLR is not cooled which I think would have helped this set. Even though the nights were cool, colder is better. Stacked in Nebulosity. First time to process primarily in Photoshop.
