Description

The Arizona skies continue to have so-so conditions on account of dust and smoke. On the bright side, clouds have been non-existent so I decided to plod on and take a stab at the Cat's Eye Nebula. This target is probably better suited to a bit more aperture than my 6SE possesses but old reliable still managed to capture some detail. This was a challenging target to process with trying to keep fainter details while taming the extremely bright core.
