Description

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
