A little different version of the Helix Nebula

this is done using Ha, [OIII] and the 468nm Helium II line

Helium II is a very high energy line and is only found around the hottest of the central stars....

shot with an AP180EDT f/9 and Microline ML4022 camera and the world's best emission line filters: Custom Scientific

Because I wanted to start and finish this in a single outing, I binned it 2x2
