NGC6543

[Rocket Pooch]

Hi all,

Has anyone took a picture of NGC6543, I had a go last night and it was tiny even at F10 with the LX90.  So I was wondering if anyone had had a go with a 3x barlow or larger scope?

P.S. When I've seem what I can get out of the image I'll post it here.

Chris,

As you know I can't even find M27.... so without GOTO I'd say I'd have zero chance of finding something that small.....

I'm looking forward to DSC & having someone show me how to star hop sucessfully

Cheers - look forward to the picture whatever it is (just showing my ignorance)

Yep thats about the size through my telescope as well.  Its very bright, uch brighter to the eye than M57, but very small.

John, buy a goto
