Hello all
This is a HaL(Syn)RGB image of the California Nebula. RGB was 9 hours and Ha was 6 hours. FSQ106/16803 camera.
Controlling the reflections off Mag 4 Menkib was just as problematic as Altinak is.
What I did not expect to pick up is all the dust in the lower right of the image extending off the main nebula. I had not seen this before in images of this object. Sure enough though, even my planetarium software shows patches of dust there, almost devoid of stars.
