The Eye of Sauron Nebula

One Ring to Rule Them All...

This is Helix Nebula or NGC7293, which has an eerily similar look to the Eye of Sauron. It is a planetary nebula 650 LY away and It is actually a hypothesized take on the fate of our sun when it dies just before it turns to a white dwarf.

Camera: Nikon D3500 Full-spectrum
Lens: Sigma 400mm F5.6
Filter: Svbony Sv220
Mount: iOptron SkyGuider Pro
Tripod: Skywatcher Tripod

This is my take on the Helix or the Eye of Sauron Nebula, taken from my backyard in Bortle 8, Suez, Egypt.  About 20 hours of data in narrowband.
