   That's great.

   I've tried to catch the Helix with the publicly available #MicroObservatory but it doesn't allow long enough exposures. I worked out some software that lets me download a batch of target exposures that I can stack. This is the best #Helix image I've been able to get with that equipment. It's pretty faint, but visible.
