The Eye of God
Night Report: www.galactic-hunter.com/blog/ngc-7293-the-helix-nebula
The Helix nebula, commonly known as the Eye of God, or even the Eye of Sauron, looks like a larger and brighter version of M57, the Ring nebula.
This planetary nebula is a very popular target for amateur astrophotographers, not only because it has cool nicknames but it is very easy to capture.
