Description

A 2 panel mosaic in the Hubble palette of the Californian Nebula. Long break in between acquiring the Ha and O3 and S2 which meant it was low in the sky. The subs were poor quality so from the start I was battling against a poor background but luckily the HA was strong enough to help pull it through.Not perfect by any stretch and I'm not keen on the large star towards the top but as I have often found, sometimes it's better to leave it than to keep messing!
