I imaged this a couple of years ago in Ha-OIII-LRGB with my 8" EdgeHD. Very challenging to process! app.astrobin.com/i/lsx8eg
The Cat's Eye Nebula - AstroBin
This is a very challenging target to image and process! I ended up using 6-minute Ha-OIII subs for the out shell, 3-minute R-G-B subs for the stars, and 2-second L-R-G-B subs for the bright core.
