Helix Nebula aka "i'm watching you!"

Image Description and Details :

Recovery of the helix nebula, with more than 60h of retained poses (out of 90h), captured over three months. I think I've reached the limit magnitude of my sky, impossible to make the signal come out more from the bottom of the sky. The Helix Nebula is a planetary nebula located in the Aquarius constellation, near the Southern Fish. Its strong resemblance to a human eye has earned it the nickname "the eye of God".
