Description

The initial plan was to continue my HaLRGB project on IC 348. After weeks of bad weather yesterday was an acceptable night and went for an Ha session on IC348.
However the full moon was very close to my target affecting severely my guiding thus making it impossible to continue. In order not to waste the night I switched to NGC 1499 - The California nebula which was situated at a "safe" distance from the bright luminous moon. So, I ended up with 32 exposures of 10 minutes each in hydrogen light.
