Hello friends

In 2019 I made an image of the Cat's Eye Nebula in lucky imaging with somme long exposures to capture the faint extensions.

With my friend @Guillaume Gruntz after our cooperation on M82, we wanted to add data to this very difficult object in LRGB.

Here is the result where the data taken with my Newton 350 (ASI 290 MMC and ASI 1600 MCC) and his Newton 250 (ASI 2600MM Pro) are mixed.

We have chosen to keep the OIII color (green blue) of the nebula.

We could not reach the incredible level of the recent image of my friend @Filippo Scopelliti with his 24" dob, but we hope that you will like this one anyway

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
