Description

This was the last data from the september-great-weather-period that was still on my harddisk. Unfortunately the quality of the data was not good, as somehow the camera had gained some tilt over the nights leading to donut stars.

The subject is well known: NGC1499 aka the California Nebula. I chose to not get totally rid of the green, leading to this lemony color mix.

I calibrated this image completely using synthetic master flats as the flats I shot did not do a good job.
