Description

The Helix Nebula NGC 7293

Captured over numerous nights, from October 21 thru October 30, 2022 from a Bortle 4 zone in southern Ontario. Canada

A challenging target as it's only in the sky for a short while each night, then descends into heavy atmosphere before it sets. First time acquiring data on this target, and my wide-field mono setup just didn't cut it to pull in much detail of this celestial gem. Happy with the first attempt.
