The Helix Nebula
My latest edition of the Helix Nebula.
One of the brightest and closest examples of a planetary nebula in the night sky.
A cloud of gas created at the end of the life of a Sun-like star.
This is 26 x 4-minutes using the QHY268C and Optolong L-eXtreme filter. I spent WAY too long processing this bad boy!
Could have used another hour or 6 of data!
