Description

One of the more popular targets. The Helix is something I love returning to every year. Shot in HOO, SHO with RGB stars. The Nebula is a planetary nebula with a white dwarf at the centre and is ~3 light years across and about 650 light years away. The cometary knots are (barely) visible. I hope to improve on it in the future.
