Description

This is my attempt to the Cat's Eye Nebula. It was pretty hard getting some detail in the planetary nebula nucleus, which is so much brighter than anything around. In the end HDRMultiSclaeTransform appeared to be the most effective tool in this process. More details on the processing are explained on my website, so feel free to check it out.
