Description

About 30 minutes of time in early December shooting the California Nebula from a city center around the full Beaver Moon, 2020. Will come back to it, but for now a decent processing refresh with small bits of data on Photoshop and DSS primarily with a OSC on a 81mm APO.

Description: Squared and flipped, still high on saturation - just needs more time, but like the classic arrangement. Need more dust, more integration time and room on side of Menkib
