| Additional image processing | Image was cropped. Difficult object of low surface brightness. Had hoped to see little radial trails on the inner edges of the helix but they did not appear. It was again a windy night and that might have affected the resolution - Then again, those details may be out of reach of a 10" telescope? Will try again in the future. |
