Description

The Helix at Dec -20deg was quite difficult to access from the Pacific NW.  From DSP Remote in New Mexico, USA the additional 13 deg of altitude made imaging the Helix achievable!

Ha and Oiii were used to enhance the RGB.  The frame was cropped and rotated to make the image appear like an eye!
