Description

NGC 7293 is an often-photographed, close and large planetary nebula. It is rather typical with a spheroid structure, akin to the NGC 6543, and M57. 
At -20° declination, it is not accessible from my home so I used the southern skies of Namibia to image this during the full moon nights.
