Happy Space Science Saturday! The Cat's Eye Nebula, also known as NGC 6543, was one of the first, and one of the most complex, planetary nebulae ever discovered! It is estimated to be 1,000 years old. Planetary nebulae are named for their round shape, which made them appear to look like planets when viewed through early telescopes, but they are actually expanding gas thrown off by stars in their final stages of evolution.

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

Forgot to mention that to the left you can see #Galaxy #NGC6552.

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

Oh. That's why they call them planetary nebulas. #astrophotography #seestar #catseye #ngc6543
