As always Steve, this is a wonderful image of the Helix, the wisp are perfect. I have visually observed this from Arunah Hill one year and that was the very last time I saw it. Might have to add this on my list to hunt with the 16".

Steve is that you on CN looking for the unmounted filter? I saw the ad and location and name and said that has to be Steve.

Thanks for your kind remarks, everyone!!

Paul, yes. I'm trying to find a very specific CCD filter, but don't wanna pay $650 for it.

Awesome image Steve and has inspired me to give it a go someday. I'm still in the tinkering and learning stages of imaging so not sure if I'll be able to give it a go this year. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to your next image of the month.
