Description

👁 THE HELIX/NGC7293 👁  This is of one of my favorite DSO.  At about 695 light years away and 3 light years across, this planetary nebula is the remnants of a star like ours. I tried to get mines too look like the amazing one done by @jamesrbaguley that recently blew up Instagram like a supernova. -----Gear------Scope: SE ED127MM 🔭Mount: AVX mount ⚙Main Camera: Asi294mc Pro 📷Guide Camera: Asi120mm-mini 📷 Guide Scope: Svbony SV165 🔭ZWO 5V EAF ⚙Brain: AsiAir Pro 🧠L-eXtreme  ----Acquisition-----111 x 300sec lights20 darks40 flats40 dark flats100 biasBIN1 2xDrizzelDithered (every 3 frames at 2 pixels)120 gain-10 degree ----Processing----Pixinsight/Topaz/PS
