Mag 7.3

The Helix Nebula


25/09/16
Very difficult to locate its position since it sits in a sparse FOV away from any 'pointer' stars
Very, very faint and diffuse in 12mm even on a night of good seeing
Large, filling the FOV, but only noticeable as a foggy patch when moving the telescope and rather disappointing compared to its photographs
