Description

The California nebula, a glowing emission nebula excited by the nearby energetic star Xi Persei. Captured with an optolong dual-band filter split into Ha and OIII by astropixelprocessor for separate processing. I went with a RGB mix which was Ha:70%OIII & 30%HaIII giving the gold tint rather than the more realistic Ha red.
