Description

Image that I took last fall, reprocessed it this evening. The California Nebula. Located 1,000 light years away. The new tools that I'm using now, mainly PixInsight, to process my images are pretty incredible. I'm really looking forward to summer and fall, lot and lots of nebulas to be imaged. 🙂
