Description

"The California Nebula (NGC 1499) is an intense hydrogen emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus. It lies 1,500 light years away from Earth and gets its nickname due to its striking resemblance in shape to the US state of California."

The California Nebula itself is very strong in Hydrogen-alpha channel, therefore I captured 14 hours of Ha and 1.5 hour of RGB channels (for stars) and try colorizing the image with only Ha channel Enjoy.
