Description

The California Nebula - NGC 1499 - HSS Image

After one processing session with HOS color scheme, the end result was not exactly appealing. OIII data on the nebula itself was virtually absent, either due to lack of emissions from the nebula, or light pollution coupled with too much moonlight.

A better result was obtained using HSS for RGB channels. Having never used this combination previously, the end result showed more detail than expected.
