I've been doing Hubble's Variable Nebula each year. Unfortunately
except for 2010 and 2011 I used different exposure times making
comparisons difficult. Comparing these two years it is obvious major
changes have occurred. My processing is a bit different...

Been wanting to see ngc 6543 again. It has been about 3 years since I saw it last. Using my 12inch reflector with the manual circles I was able to get it in...
