More than meets the eye

[CCD Imager]

Here is the California Nebula, my first image of 2022. Although it was very windy, imaging with a FL of 200mm made it a breeze (no pun intended!).

Previously, it has been very hard to capture the full extent of the nebula and the extension towards 7pm is often missed out, but having a FOV of 10 degrees gives an incredible ability to capture huge objects which the California Nebula is.

Taken with the Askar 200mm lens and ASI 6200 camera and reduced in size by 50%

Thanks for looking

Adrian
