While shooting the Lagoon all night last night, there came a point where I was faced with an azimuth flip, which I am hesitant to do:whistle:....
So, while considering packing up and heading in, I had a flick through the tour function and lo and behold...what's this? The Helix Nebula? Leftover shell of a long gone stellar explosion.
Well, I had almost forgotten about this beauty so I thought I wpould have a go as it was still only four in the morning and there was still some dark left.
There was a bit of dew in the sky by then and I only got a few 10 minute subs. I had to reject a few because the moisture in the air was bouncing orange street light sky glow around like crazy.
I had to stretch the heck out of it but hey, do what you can huh?
I can't wait to do this again in about a month and do it properly!

Well, hehe, this are all in the same catagory of planetary nebulae. The White dwarf surrounded by a cloud of gas blown away from the former dying star. Spectacular isn't it? I wish i had taken pics with that quality, but i haven't had any good pics. I am trying out the Orion though.
Blast off!!!!!!!
