Description

The Helix Nebula
NGC 7293
The Helix Nebula is an example of a planetary nebula, formed by an intermediate to low-mass star (the star in the very centre of the Nebula),which sheds its outer layers near the end of its evolution.
I've shot over 26 hours of exposures from my backyard for this image so far and I will continue to add more over the coming months. I stretched the data a lot and lost a little detail in the core of the Nebula but this is a Work in Progress.
