Description

This is the result of the last pictures I took from my holidays location in Bortle 4 this summer, the night before leaving.

I am quite happy to discover that I could capture the nice dark clouds between California and Pleiades in just an hour of integration (OK, with my lense opened at f/2 and lots of coma + a tilt problem on the lower left side of the image....). This is defintely not as good as the Cosmic Waterfall of Christian Koll (https://astrob.in/tkoag2/0/), but good enough to see the impressive structure of these clouds in the starless version.

I will try to pursue it next year or whenever I can access a Bortle 4 zone again in between :-)
