Helix Nebula NGC7293

Helix Nebula NGC7293
This is a second look at this Nebula with a whole new Camera QHY183C . I could focus automatically with this camera hence the detail in the eye is much better than the first one with the ZWO. This camera took a bit to get use to as I had to change wires and ports on the computer to get this to run and download photos.

Helix Nebula NGC7293- You are right they are watching US.

35 shot 10 min each till the tree got in the way.

The new camera did not come with out a cost. A whole lot of problems with cables and ports on the computer. Then there was the Gain (ISO) difference between the camera. getting plate solve and focus to work took a bit of playing with Next shot.

I am happy that I can go forward with this camera both shots show the difference between the other camera the focuser worked perfectly once I worked out I needed to extend the time because of the lower Gain (ISO) like wise plate solving. I do look forward to getting some targets not under moon light which is never the best but great for trials none the less.

many thanks.
