Unplanned California Nebula

[ultranova]

Hi Everyone,

I was caught snoozing on this target on Saturday night.

Checked outside just after 6pm as all the apps and forecasts

said it was yet going to be another night of cloud/frost rain 

and just about everything else apart from a clear sky,

Imagine my surprise when putting some rubbish out at 7pm and it was clear

Having not imaged for months due to the above, i was over keen to get imaging

Shear panic set in with the rush of maybe acquiring some heavenly photons lol.

Anyway this unfortunately is only 13 x 7minute subs taken with asi294 pro osc

with my newly acquired optolong extreme filter.

dithered and guided.

needed at least double the subs to get it looking more like it should,

hey ho, got to work with what you get I suppose.

thanks for looking , clear skies everyone.
