Description

Thor's Helmet is very low from my location at 53 degrees North. I persisted, despite many nights which hazed over. Eventually I was rewarded with a few hours of clear sky on 4th March. I am very pleased with the result - the Oiii signal is very strong from this Wolf Rayet source and is even cleaner than the Ha.
