California Nebula Close Up (NGC1499, Narrowband)

The California Nebula is an emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus. Its name comes from its resemblance to the outline of the US State of California. It is approximately 1 thousand light years away from Earth.

 

I imaged this target over several nights with a total integration time of 11 hours. I used the following equipment:

 

William Optics FLT132 with Flat8 0.72x reducer/flattener

ZWO ASI2600MC Pro with Optolong L-Ultimate 3nm Ha & Oiii narrowband filter.

ZWO AM5 mount with ASIAir Plus.

 

I used PixInsight and Affinity Photo 2 for pre and post processing respectively.
