California Nebula

27 Nov 2023

This is the California Nebula. It’s a massive emission nebula in the constellation of Perseus. I gathered this data on a clear night with almost an entire full moon. The data I acquired on this was almost entirely Ha data and the OIII was virtually non-existant so I didn’t even bother to add it to the final image, hence the reason it’s so red. Anyway, I think it looks ok for a first attempt.

Skywatcher Evoguide 50ED with Starizona Flattener, sv220 narrowband filter, Risingcam IMX585, guided, 4hr 25min of data
