New Image: California Nebula in SHO

[Jockinireland]

My first images in a while as weather has been truly awful.

This is the California Nebula in SHO. 22 hours total, 7 and a bit per filter. Altair 26m, ZWO 7nm filters, SW 80 ED riding on a NEQ6. Ill try to get some rgb stars later

That's lovely detail and colour David.

Weather is the same here and no respite for the foreseeable!

I look forward to the finished version.

David,
This is a beautiful image. I really love the color palette you chose. The detail is amazing.
Congrats on the TSS APOD!
If you use PixInsight, I would encourage you to try Franklin's (SetiAstro) NarrowbandToRGBStars script before you bother spending any more time on this subject collecting RGB data. It really is a miracle trick for creating realistic colors in the stars. I was very, very skeptical at first until I tried it. Now, I am not sure I'll ever bother shooting RGB just for stars on my narrowband nebula work. Here's a quick video on how it works.

Thanks for this, I'll definately take alook at that - Ihave the other Seti-Astro scripts and have found them very useful so will give this ago.
