Description

These days one has to take what one can get. Here is the Cat's Eye nebula shot while dodging clouds. This is LRGB, ten 60-second subframes each color. Several frames had to be dropped due to passing clouds and one really bright satellite trail. If we ever get an actual, clear night I'll go back to this target with longer exposure times.
