NGC 7293 the Helix nebula
http://coatesastrophotography.blogspot.com/2013/10/ngc-7293-helix-nebula_6.html
This always seems to be my "go-to" nebula when I am trying to knock the rust off the gear and get back into imaging and processing mode. This is my first time combining Ha and OIII data using the QSI wsg-8 and first time using OAG. It only took troubleshooting the Gemini-2 (new FW) and getting the Gemini.net ASCOM driver to behave with the SkyX but here it finally is for this year...

Very nice, Steve. I tried to capture this recently, but didn't get this good results. I'm going to blame that on the low elevation!
