The Helix Nebula
The Helix Nebula is a very tough object for me as it can only be imaged for a brief period as it moves between my neighbor's house and his trees. I only managed about 30 minutes of captures, but Siril, Affinity, and Topaz came through for me and the resulting image isn't too bad. I could never image this object with the big rig, so this is the first time I've ever imaged it; I can place my Seestar i just the right place to get at least some captures.
