Description

California Nebula shot from my Bortle 7 back yard combined with the RGB stars from my Ha RGB image. My first attempts at process this were a disaster couldn't get any color other than brown!!! Anyway I upped the the O3 exposures and shifted to Gain 100 (which I think I should have been at all along) but I think the biggest thing was backing way off the Ha channel and trying selective color iteratively till I saw the mix. I think I'll come back to it but I'm happy for now!

Ha 22 by 600 s
S2 27 by 600 s
O3 36 By 600 s
