The California Nebula

I collected as many images as I could in one night to create this image of the handsome California Nebula in the constellation Perseus.

 

The final image includes 90 x 5 minutes through this ultra-portable astrophotography rig featuring the mighty William Optics RedCat 51.

 

While the nights are now very cold, they are also much longer and allow me to start shooting a LOT earlier
