Description

The California Nebula is a pretty large target in the constellation of Perseus. As a Hydrogen rich area, it does very well in broadband images. But here is an attempt to a narrow-band version. There is a very faint area of OIII nebulosity that is almost impossible to see on individual subs, especially from my not so dark bottle 5 sky. But with enough exposure the signal comes through.
