Often I like to see how an image is processed from start to finished. Presented in this animation are the main processing steps in sequence from my image of the Helix Nebula

The Helix Nebula, also known as The Helix, NGC 7293, is a large planetary nebula located in the constellation Aquarius, 695 light years away.

My original target was the Helix Nebula, but after spending most of Saturday night trying to work out how to use off axis guiding, I gave up and noticed Orion was rising. A nice bright target to use the drift aligned mount on.

I thought I'd give eyepiece projection a try since my previous attempts at capturing Saturn were a dismal failure.

I have only a few nights experience with astrophography, so while I wait for my new camera, I'm using my wife's full frame DSLR. Since it's not so sensitive to emission nebula, I thought I'd try a dark nebula.
