Thor's helmet has eluded me for years. Wrong filters, neighbor's tall trees, insufficient integration time, etc. This time I tried narrowband and got a better result than expected. I absolutely LOVE this particular object due to its unique coloring and the pretty "wings". Hope you enjoy this one. Thanks for looking!
