Description

This is a two panel mosaic of a portion of the California Nebula using an H-Alpha filter for 15 hours of imaging through a 6 inch refractor. By adding mosaic panels you can increase the field of view. Over time I may add 7 more panels in order to take in about half of the nebula. Adding more color to this image with narrow band filters would triple the imaging time.
