NGC 6543: The Cat's Eye Nebula

The Cat's Eye Nebula is a planetary nebula located approximately 3300 light years away constellation of Draco. This image was captured over approximately 7 nights.

This was an extremely difficult target to process. The center of this nebula is extremely bright, while the outer core is extremely faint. I think I will probably revisit this at some point but for now I am finished with this target.
