Description

The Helix Nebula, also known as NGC 7293, is a planetary nebula, and is one of the closest to the Earth of all the bright planetary nebulae. The distance is 655±13 light-years.

This is one of the last few images captured using the Losmandy G-11 mount before I sold it and upgraded to an AP1100GTO-AE.
