The planetary nebula Helix found in Aquarius
On 10/26/2024 01:00 am by Andy Dungan| Near Cotopaxi, Colorado USA
Helix is a small planetary nebula located in Aquarius. With a 600mm lens and a small format camera I can take pics of these relatively small objects. I really need a 2000mm telescope for now this is a lot of fun and I still get some pretty good pics. Imagine a circular pool with an infinite bottom that you could dive into and never return. This must be a portal to someplace. These kinds of thoughts are how science fiction starts!!!
