Description

First try at the Helix Nebula.  The subs were acquired August 4th 2022.  It was very low in the sky and very humid that particular night. The diagonal spikes on the stars are from the high heat coming from the dew heater ring I was using at the time.   Hopefully I will get a chance to add more subs or just re-shoot the whole stack.
