Description

This is a reprocessing of my LRGB data for the California Nebula. I like it much better than my original.

I use PixInsight for processing and color is determined by the PhotoCalibration process. In this image I included stars down to 16th magnitude. (The default is 12th). For what every reason the nebula came out much redder. Mystery to me.
