Description

Located between Taurus and Perseus, the area between NGC 1333 and NGC 1499 (California nebula) contains lots of dust and many reflective nebulas as well as hydrogen clouds extending towards California nebula. This 8-panel mosaic picture includes HaLRGB composite was taken from September till December 2023 with total integration time of 49 hours. As there are more cloudy nights in this time of year, I used my dual telescope set up to capture largest amount of data in time. Capturing LRGB data took 24 hours. To reduce this time for Ha channel I used a 135 mm f/1.8 Sigma Canon lens with 6  nm Ha filter and ZWO ASI 2600 MM camera, covering roughly 3 mosaic panels of the region with total integration time of 25 hours.
