Abstract
The central star of the Helix Nebula, the closest planetary nebula, is ringed by hundreds of Cometary Knots. Presented here are images taken with WFPC2 of a field in the northern portion of the bright ring and some physical parameters and models derived from the data.

The data is in three narrow emission line filters, H
