Description

The beautiful Cat's Eye Nebula. This is super hard to image and process! The core is super bright relative to the faint lacy outer shell. So I imaged the outer shell with long 600-720s OIII and Ha subs and then did many 1 sec and 30 sec LRGB subs of the core. I processed the two sets separately in Pixinsight and then took them into Photoshop to merge the two. Hope you enjoy!
