One of my best - California Nebula

[emyliano2000]

The time has come to go back and shoot the California nebula in full narrowband.

The last time I have done it was in 2019 with a colour camera.

I really love how it came out and I consider it to be one of my best photos to date.

To make a good use of Blur Xterminator, I drizzled the stack which gave me a pixel scale of 1.26 "/px

I hope you like it!

Wow! Love the colour and detail, and nicely framed.

I really like that Emil, I normally find the California a boring object but the high resolution has picked up so much detail. 

Mono still has the edge in terms of smoothness and final detail .

Thank you! Yeah, I didn't think much of it when I shot it in HaRGB with a colour camera but after seeing the  California image that won the Stars and Nebulae category of the APOTY in 2021, I made it my plan to try and shoot it in full narroband too and to be honest I prefer mine to that one 🫣
