Description

This is data from fall 2017 on NGC 1499 aka the California Nebula. I used 2 color cameras and one mono to generate this composite. I used a 6nm Ha filter over 2 nights on the mono camera. The color cameras were equipped with uv/ir cut filters

227 x 60s subs total between the osc cameras at 60s

550d and 600d

6nm Ha 20 x 300s subs, 36x 210s subs, and 12 x 180s subs mono 60d

skies mag 21.6

seeing 4/5

Lens-Samyang 135mm F2 at F2

transparency started 5/5 then dropped to 1/5 and caused me to dump half of the subs. This is very tedious to sort out and usually I do not process data for a long time when I have to go through and identify clouds that spoil my images.
