The Helix Nebula in Aquarius

Formed when a star puffed off its outer layers, it is difficult to photograph from the UK because of its low elevation in the southern sky.

Modified EOS 600D,Meade ED 127mm telescope
12 x 5-minute exposures at ISO 1600, f7.5; manually off-axis guided. The frames were registered and stacked using Deep Sky Stacker software.
