Description

This is a HaORGB image of the Cat's Eye Nebula. The nebula itself is beautiful to behold, but that pesky core section is impossibly bright. I tried to bracket my images and took a series of 5 sec exposures hoping to fill it in. Even those were overexposed and too bright.

I'll keep after it but for now this is it.
