  5. NGC 7293: The Helix Nebula

    A mere seven hundred light years from Earth toward the constellation Aquarius, a star is dying. The once sun-like star's last few thousand years have produced the Helix Nebula. Also known as NGC 7293, the cosmic Helix is a well studied and nearby example of a Planetary Nebula, typical of this final phase of stellar evolution.

  13. The Helix Nebula (NGC 7293) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Aquarius. At approximately 655 light-years from Earth, it is one of the closest of the bright planetary nebulae.

    The planetary nebula is formed by the shedding of the outer layers of its central star near the end of its evolution. The energy from the central star causes the expelled gases to fluoresce.

  18. Last night we had an unexpected gap in the clouds after coming home from the drive-in. (Wolverine and Deadpool - good solid ultraviolent fun. Hugh Jackman is having a ball.)

    So I targetted the Helix Nebula - NGC7293. I was aiming for 500 subs, but the clouds rolled in and I only got 380.

    Still, a pretty planetary nebula, and one that is uncommonly large as far as these object go, spanning 20-odd arc-minutes.

  23. I've been watching #Eurovision2024 , which, being in Western Australia, means getting up at 2am for a 3am start. This does mean I get to do some cool #Astrophotography in the early early morning. (Not a combination of #hashtags commonly appearing together, I am sure!)

    Three nights ago, I got a nice, but short shot of #NGC7293 - the Helix Nebula - only 100x15s at the end of my shooting time.

    Last night, as clouds rolled in, I started on that target earlier, but had to compete with light pollution close to the horizon. Still, I was able to get some decent images, even with the clouds, scoring another 178x15s.

    So today, after a bit of post-processing of both images, I decided to manually stack them in #Snapseed. If you are working with cleaned up images, this is surprisingly simple - provided you are working on a tablet, not a phone! The end result was still not fantastic, but a definite improvement.

  25. NGC 7293 Helix Nebula

    Magnitude 7.6 planetary nebula located 650 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius. The remnant central stellar core is destined to become a white dwarf star. The observed glow of the central star is so energetic that it causes the previously expelled gases to brightly fluoresce.
