Description

California Nebula in SHO

Opted to keep more of the green in this one than I normally do with my SHO renditions.

S2 75 x 300s

Ha 83 x 300s

O3 101 x 300s

Pixel Math Matrix

L: 0.5*Ha+0.25*O3+0.25*S2

R: S2

G: 0.85*Ha+0.15*O3

B: 0.9*O3+0.1*Ha

Shot over 10 nights, primarily from my urban/suburban porch, with a few hours of Bortle 3 rural site before moonrise. O3 was definitely faintest, and affected by bad moon gradient some nights, though DBE did a pretty good job of cleaning it up.
