Description

The California Nebula captured with our twin-refractor array at the Pixel Skies remote observatory in Spain over a few nights in January.  Added extra OIII as this was faint compared to the Ha and SII.

I tried to retain some green in the SHO palette instead of the gold and blue bi-colour version of this often seen and applied J.P Metsavainio's tone mapping method to balance the colours.
