NGC 7293 The Helix Nebula
I was hoping to add a ton more data to this, but the forecast is rain and clouds for the next 2 weeks.
I took 14 Hydrogen-Alpha filtered subs (5 minute each) on 12/5/15. I used this as Luminance with an older RGB attempt, seen here: flic.kr/p/dkDFMM I'm afraid this might be it for this year because of the Helix's position in the sky.
Telescope: 11" Celestron EdgeHD w/Hyperstar(F/2)
Camera: QHY23M
Mount: CGEM-DX
The Helix Nebula is found in the constellation of Aquarius. It's estimated to be 700 light-years away and 2.5 light-years wide. It's also known as the "Eye of God" or the "Eye of Sauron"
