Description

For the past couple of weeks, I've been collecting photons for a rematch with the elusive squid nebula. Not to waste imaging time, I switched over to the California Nebula once SH2-129 was no longer high enough in the sky. Since my camera rotator has been on back order forever, a 2 panel mosaic was used to get the framing I desired. This was my first mosaic and Astro Pixel Processor does a great job with the integration. Nebula was processed with the SHO palette with RGB stars added afterwards.

Description: I thought I'd practice on some old data. This version pushed the Oiii signal a bit harder along with some tweaks to enhance the colors on the Ha and SII signal.
