California nebula with Nikkor 105 F/2.5

[R26 oldtimer]

I shot this on new year's eve and the night after just to begin the new year on the right foot.

This was my last image with my SXV-H9 mono (will be using it for photometry from now on) and a vintage but razor sharp Nikkor 105 f2.5 AI-s. Mounted on a SW az-gti and guided with it's dedicated guider camera. Baader NB SHO filters, 40x300sec per channel.

Thanks for looking.

A very nice for a final bow.

I need to go back and have another go at my own processing of this one and see if I can make it pop a little more like yours.
