The California Nebula
|
|
NGC 1499, aka the California Nebula, is a large emission nebula in Perseus. It is about 2.5 degrees in length and has a very low surface brightness, which makes it somewhat of a challenge to observe visually. The image was taken with a Canon 60Da DSLR and a Takahashi FSQ106ED telescope with focal reducer (f/3.6 FL = 385 mm) on an Astro-Physics 1200 mount. Total combined exposure was 5 hrs (20 x 15 min guided and dithered lights; 12 darks; 128 bias; 64 flats) taken over three nights (Oct 23rd , 27th , 28th 2014). Image acquisition with MaxIm DL6.07 and calibration, registration, and integration with PixInsight; processing with PixInsight 1.8.3.1123 Ripley (x64) and Adobe Photoshop CC.
