NGC 7293
The Helix Nebula is a very well known Planetary Nebula and a popular astrophotography target.
This image was taken on two telescopes to provide maximum detail in the central area, while still providing a large enough field of view to resolve the outer shell regions of the nebula.
Central detail was imaged on our CDK 1000, additional outer portions were imaged on our DR 350.
Imaged in HOO with RGB stars at El Sauce, Obstech, Chile
