California Nebula
Located about 1,500 lightyears from Earth in the constellation Perseus, the "California Nebula" is a spectacular emission nebula spanning 100 lightyears across.
After a few lackluster attempts, ahem -- I mean "learning experiences," this is my proudest processing of some pristine data available from Dark Matters Astrophotography.

I'm planning to make this target a big personal imaging project later this year when it's back in full view from my back yard!
Total integration: 29h 50m

* OIII: 10h (120 × 300")
Equipment:
