The Cat's Eye Nebula. An Astrophotography collaborative project between Astrobloke & Simon's Astro
NGC6543 The Cat's Eye Nebula had proved quite challenging as it is way too easy to blow out the core details of which there is a lot.
We knew we could not compete with images taken with Hubble or JWST but felt with some work we could reveal some of the core details.
In total we gathered 10Hrs of HOO narrowband data on the target which is quite bright so just 3 minute subs. On the core we used a combination of 5 and 10 second LRGB subs totalling 46mins.
We are really pleased with the final results.

Great video Glenn & Simon well done
Thank you Steve. Thank you for watching and commenting
Fantastic image Glenn and Simon! Wow!!
Thank you Jeremy, Glad you liked it mate.
Good to see you imaging again. What a terrible winter it's been for weather!
Thank you, I hope to share some more that I managed to capture despite the awful weather. Got to be the worst spell ever for our hobby. Lets hope for some clear skies soon
That’s a fantastic image, well done
Thank you. Appreciate that, clear skies
Hi Glenn,
Nice collab with Simon. The final image looks fantastic!
We are back to numerous cloudy nights ... again. I had a few clear nights but they were centered on the full moon. Well, at least my garden is liking the mild and cloudy weather.
Here's hoping for clear skies for you (and Simon).
Thank you Pat. We have had so much rain its crazy. Also had the same issue of a couple of clear nights coinciding with a moon so bright it was like daytime.
Hope you are keeping well, clear skies mate
Wow! Amazing work guys! 🔭🔭
Thanks so much! It came out as well as we had hoped.
Great video Glenn! Always good to come over to the man cave for a chat and a coffee😀 Great working with you again mate, and I’m really pleased with the final image! Catch up again soon Glenn! Clear skies mate👍
Thanks Simon. Was great fun working on this with you and well happy with the results. Looking forward to the next one mate, clear skies
Hi Glenn great to see a new video from you mate really fantastic target selection and the final mage is excellent. Great to see you and Simon working together again I've been following both of your channels for same time and always look forward to seeing you work, thanks for taking the time to make these video they keep my hobby alive, ps the obsy is looking outstanding
Thank you Tony, your support and kind comments are very much appreciated. Sorry it has been so quiet on here from me but the weather has really put a spanner in the works. I have also been busy building my lovely wife an en suite, a small trade off for the magnificent mancave she let me build first. Next is a bathroom refit. It never ends. Clear skies mate
I totally understand Glenn
Beautiful capture love the timelapse also
Thank you for watching and commenting. Its been a difficult time lately with the weather.
Fantastic video, Glenn, and superb to see the obsy with all 3 rigs in all their glory!!
Hi Paul and thank you. It was a long time coming this project but glad we got it finished. The Obsy is such a luxury, I am very lucky.
Nice work guys
Thank you so much 😀 clear skies
Great vid Glenn. I've got oby envy going on here, makes mine look tiny🤣 I bet you never out of that man cave.
Nice image guys, very different to what you usualy see.
Clear skies.
Hi Ben and thank you mate. It is a great space and I feel so lucky, I certainly don't mind spending time down there. Thanks for the support and comments, clear skies
Nice video, great image, we haven’t had a clear night here in western Canada since Halloween, maybe tonight?
Thank Woody. More coming. Been very tough with the weather but grab every opportunity. 🤞for clear skies for you
As always Glenn you smashed that. Looks great and so good to see you back, been a while.hope for more videos soon. Clear skies
Thanks Mark, was a fun project. Been a crazy time lately and hopefully now back to normal service where I can release much more regular content. Thanks for the support mate
Great result guys. Wonderful image of the Cat's Eye with some excellent detail.
Hi Logan and thank you mate. Been a tough spell lately with very poor weather. Simon and I were very pleased with the results.
Great collab & image guys this season has been shocking with the rain etc so haven't been out much at all, my astro mojo is at a low right now so I've no idea if & when I'll be out next.
I hear you Tich. Its been a very rough weather period indeed. Its made making videos for the channel very challenging indeed. I am sure it will settle soon and we can get back out under some clear skies again. Take care mate, will we be seeing you at PAS next month?
PAS is definitely on the calendar although can't see me buying much as just don't have the pennies lol, hope to see you there clear skies!!!
Outstanding work Glenn/Simon. The weather has indeed been truly awful, the handful of nights I've actually seen stars in the sky have still been very humid with very low transparency making any astro imaging pointless.
Thank you Pete. It really has been very challenging with the weather. Kind of surprised we managed to get an image but we did, We were both very happy with it.
Hi Glen, thanks for heads up, will check DNS etc, may be my phone is full, or yahoo gremlins.. Cheers Tom..
Not sure Tom, could be some internet security. All other emails are going no issues.
Nice job Glen and Simon looks a tricky target teasing out those filaments in the centre but image looks amazing👍. Just a couple of things did you get email on remote hotspot settings?, I've tried and failed miserably. I see you've been very busy, so no probs, Also thinking of upgrading to win 11, is it painless? especially with the slower Quieter2, Nina, drivers etc?? as my kit just works with Win10.. Atb regards Tom..
Hi Tom and thank you for your great comments and support. I am so sorry if I have missed an email from you, I have been massively busy of late. I shall take a look back or if you could resend that may help. As for updating to win11. Its not difficult but to be honest if 10 is working fine I would leave it with that. I have a few PC's, running either 10 or 11 and they all communicate with each other and run with no issues. (if it ain't broke) you know the saying. Clear skies
Hi Tom. Sending you a message here as I have tried replying to your email and your email provider keeps rejecting it. Have you received anything? very strange and not sure why its doing that.
Hi Glen, it's a mystery!! not to worry, ime trying out Cuivs recent solution to create a script for a Windows hotspot starter, maybe try and figure out the mini router another day.. Atb regards Tom..
The wonders of the internet. I am wondering if you have a firewall or security setting blocking things and could be the issue with the mini router connection. Hard to know without seeing it. Hopefully Cuivs solution will help fix your issue, good luck 🤞
