Part of the California Nebula, NGC 1499 in Perseus

First clear night in ages, but at least we haven't had as much rain as in the north of the country.
8 x 7-minute exposures at ISO 1600, f/6.25. Modified EOS 600D & Sky-Watcher ED80 refractor, piggybacked on a Celestron C8 telescope for manual guiding.
Registered and stacked using DeepSkyStacker; initial curves adjusted in Canon Photo Professional; final curves and colour balance adjusted using Paint Shop Pro; noise reduction via CyberLink PhotoDirector.
