Comments: This picture is dedicated to my mom and sisters. I took this picture the same night that I imaged the Helix Nebula. Since this nebula is in one of my favorite constellations (Cassiopeia), I felt inclined to image it. Also, both of my sisters and my mom’s favorite constellation is Cassiopeia, and my sister Jaden urged me to image NGC 281. I knew that this nebula’s light was spread out, so it would be difficult to detect. This is the reason why I used 300 second exposures. Then, the next day, I processed the images at my grandma’s house. I am pretty happy with the results.
