NGC 1232, also known as the Eye of God Galaxy (not to be confused with the Helix Nebula, also known as Eye of God) is an intermediate spiral galaxy about 60 million light-years away [2] in the constellation Eridanus. It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 20 October 1784. [3]
The Helix Nebula (also known as NGC 7293 or Caldwell 63) is a planetary nebula (PN) located in the constellation Aquarius. Discovered by Karl Ludwig Harding , most likely before 1824, this object is one of the closest of all the bright planetary nebulae to Earth. [ 3 ]

NGC 6826 (also known as Caldwell 15) is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is commonly referred to as the "Blinking Planetary", although many other nebulae exhibit such "blinking". When viewed through a small telescope, the brightness of the central star overwhelms the eye when viewed directly, obscuring the surrounding ...
