The Helix Nebula (NGC 7293), also commonly referred to as the Eye of God, is a planetary nebula of ionized gases and dust emitting from an eventually-to-be white dwarf star. Located approximately 650 lightyears away from Earth, it can be found in the Aquarius constellation.
I spent two nights capturing this image from Mendocino Magic, a campground in Northern California, during their annual Perseids Meteor Shower event.
This is a simulation of an approach through the Helix Nebula's star field created by separately processing the image's stars from the nebulosity. It should be seen primarily as an artistic representation.
Original, full resolution image and acquisition info can be seen in my AstroBin gallery (link in bio).
