Description

My first attempt at the California nebula.  The moon was not much of a factor but clouds did come in. I wish I had put more time on this object to see how dense the nebula can get. I will definitely try again.

Title: California Nebula NGC 1499 revised as SHO from OSC narrowband

Description: For fun, I followed Luke Newbould's Hubble Style OSC Narrowband on his YouTube channel Lukomatico. He describes how to split the channels into red, green, and blue and then recompositing as an SHO image all in SIRIL. I made another version using SIRIL's autostrech function and it came out bright yellow-orange but much noisier. In both cases, I find the SHO processing reveals more gases around the main nebula.
