Description

The Helix Nebula is an often-imaged planetary nebula due to its beauty and appearance similar to an eye.  I discarded many individual frames with large stars and high clouds to try and get the best possible image for my equipment.  I also have been experimenting with different sharpening techniques for planetary work and applied some of these to this image.  
Enjoy.
