NGC 7293 - Helix Nebula

The Helix Nebula is a very large planetary nebula located in Aquarius. It is one of the closest planetary nebula to earth, but the largely Ha emission of the nebula combined with light pollution and poor Ha (infrared) response of my camera made this very difficult to photograph.

 

Total integrated exposure is a tad under 6 hours. 2min subs.

Taken on Celestron C8 at f/6.3 with a Nikon D800
