Description

Last night the skies cleared for the first time in almost six weeks, although they still were a little hazy. Nevertheless, I made the best of conditions.

I shot this image of the California Nebula as temps fell to minus-7. Using a color camera (ASI294MC) with an Optolong L-Extreme filter, this was my first attempt at NGC 1499.
