Probably start with [Helix Nebula](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix_Nebula) at Wikipedia, but more generally the makeup of a [nebula](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebula) follows the makeup of the star that cast off the material. Those Wikipedia articles don't appear to directly address the Helix Nebula makeup. Maybe searching for "helix nebula spectral analysis" would help.
