Image Details:

This planetary nebula is the Cat's Eye Nebula (also known as NGC 6543) and is located in the constellation of Draco about 5300 light-years away. It has a magnitude of about 8 and is very small in most telescopes fields of views but maintains a high brightness almost appearing like a star. Due to smoke in my skies it was hard to image making it dimmer.
