C6 / NGC 6543 The Cat's Eye Nebula - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. C6/NGC 6543, the Cat's Eye Nebula, is a stunning, complex planetary nebula in Draco. It's the gaseous shell shed by a dying, sun-like star and shows intricate, concentric rings.

C6 / NGC 6543 The Cat's Eye Nebula - unprocessed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. The Cat's Eye Nebula's complex, glowing structure is believed to be the result of a binary star system where the two stars orbitally tugged at the ejected gas.

Good Sunday morning. Fog is back out so was not able to complete the scheduled observations for this morning on the s50. Sharing the observations that succeeded. Here is #C6 / #NGC6543 #TheCatsEyeNebula. The s50 did image it much better. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

NGC 6543 The Cat's Eye Nebula - telescope processed image. The Cat's Eye is a complex planetary nebula in Draco. Its dying star sheds intricate gas shells, creating a stunning cosmic eye structure.

NGC 6543 The Cat's Eye Nebula - unprocessed image. Like the Cat's Eye star, the Sun will become a Red Giant in ~5 billion years, puffing off its outer layers to form a new planetary nebula.

Attempted to observe #NGC6543 #TheCatsEyeNebula. This is as good as the Odyssey Pro and s50 can see it. The s50’s version will be uploaded later. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur
