Description

California nebula along with seven sisters...

Across constellations Perseus and Taurus

Ha and RGB combined across a 3 panel mosaic - shot with 071mc using L extreme (Ha,Oiii) and L Pro (RGB)

Learning new techniques to present the narrow band emission nebula (California) and RGB reflection nebula (Seven Sisters) as best I could across the 3 panel mosaic.

The moon was a big issue when creating the 2 mosaics without gradients or seems - Ha and RGB shot 2 weeks apart due to clouds.

Hope you like it
