Greetings,
Please find the following image resulting from 342 hours of integration on NGC 7293 for your consideration as an APOD submission.

Explanation: This image of the Helix nebula (NGC 7293) is the outcome of the first collective project of Overall Photons, a collaboration totaling 342.5 hours of data from 19 amateurs astrophotographers. Imaging locations are multiple, mainly from Italy, Spain, Switzerland, USA, Brazil, Australia and Georgia (Europe). NGC 7293 is the nearest example of a planetary nebula, which is the eventual fate of a star, like our own Sun, as it approaches the end of its life. As it runs out of fuel, the star expels its outer envelope of gas outward to form a nebula like the Helix. The remaining core of the star is a small, hot, dense remnant known as a white dwarf. We were able to highlight also the weak external structure of ionized hydrogen thanks to the high signal collected.
Imaging scopes : ASA N12 / 12N, Askar 103APO, Askar 80PHQ, Celestron EdgeHD 8", Celestron EdgeHD 9.25", GSO 6" f/9 Ritchey-Chretien, Sharpstar SCA260, Sky-Watcher Esprit 150ED, Sky-Watcher Esprit 80ED, Sky-Watcher Evostar 72ED, Sky-Watcher Explorer 250PDS, Stellarvue SVX102T, Takahashi TOA-130NS, Tecnosky RC8 Carbon, TS-Optics 250mm/10" UNC f/4 Newtonian, TS-Optics PHOTON 200mm/8" f/4 Newtonian, Vixen ED103S
Cameras : Player One Artemis-C Pro, QHYCCD QHY268 M, ToupTek ATR3 CMOS 26000 KPA, ZWO ASI2600MM Pro, ZWO ASI294MC Pro, ZWO ASI294MM Pro, ZWO ASI533MC Pro, ZWO ASI533MM Pro, ZWO ASI6200MM
We can remove the OP logo if this is wished.
Please let me know if any additional information is required.
Kind regards,
