California Nebula

The California Nebula,
This enormous nebula, also called NGC 1499, is one of the closest in Ha nebulae to our solar system.
Located in the constellation of Perseus, it is a perfect target to photograph in my region during this period.
I photographed this nebula over 3 evenings, September 24, 25 and 26, 2023, in my garden, in Oberried in Switzerland.
It is composed as follows:
67 x 180 sec with an L-EnHance filter
132 x 300 sec with an L-Ultimate filter
For a total of approx. 14.35 hours of exposure
Photos were taken with a Canon 300L lens (locked at F4) and a 2600MC Pro camera
The optics were carried by a ZWO AM5 mount
Pre-processing and processing was performed with PixInsight

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
