Description

NGC 1499, the California Nebula, is an emission nebula located in the constellation of Perseus.  This is an SHO rendering of the nebula.  The O3 is very weak from this object but I have tried to bring it out in this image.  Apparently the H beta emission is stronger so it would be good to gather some data for that wavelength and add it - a project for later in the year!
Linear processing was: Crop; Mure Denoise; DBE.
Non Linear Processing chrominance: GHS plus SCNR.
Non Linear Processing luminance (using Ha data): GHS, LHE, MMT.
Combined: MT, GHS.
