Description

This is my very first try to make a mosaic. Beside of some other targets, the California nebula was high enough after midnight to shoot some HαRGB subs. O3 wasn´t usagble and even in the blue channel the star halos were really heavy. So, the stars and the background are not my masterpieces in this image. The Hα data looking great and show much more detail and contrast than the RGB composite can visualise.
I have to visit this great region again in 1-2 months for better data, maybe with a nice Chroma O3 filter? Who knows ;-)

Appr. 7,5 hrs. of  Hα
Appr. 1 hrs per channel RGB
