Description

Presenting NGC6543, the Cat's Eye Nebula. NGC6543 has a small incredibly bright core with a much fainter outer veil which would not really show up on exposures designed to expose the core correctly itself. The image I have here is a blended 'HDR' version with the core created from short RGB exposures (also used for the stars) and separate Ha and Oiii exposures taken to create a HOO image of the outer veil area.
This image is the result of older and new 2024 narrowband data culled to use just the best 66% of the subframes.
20 x 30sec R, G, B
65 x 300 sec Ha
71 x 300 sec Oiii
