First color image of the year: Thor's Helmet Tricolor through

by Richard Crisp

The seeing was terrible for two of the past three nights, but I'll take clear skies and bad seeing over cloudy skies, especially after three weeks of Seattle Nebula.

Anyway, being work nights, I had to shut down pretty early so it took a few nights to gather up the 4 hours and 20 minutes worth of data.

I used my C14 at f/12.46 and FLI Dream Machine camera.

This was 4 hours and 20 minutes total exposure time over four nights.

I wish the seeing had been better but I am tired of this object and will just move on.

who knows, I may gather up some more data before it goes out of season, but for now I think I am finished with it.
