I have been trying to hone my skills with the QHY 168 color camera. Last night with about 75% full moon, I shot this image of the California Nebula and its large neighbor Menkib.
Menkib is only about 1 million years old and a very hot blue giant. You can see that it provides a nice blue halo to the nice red nebula of NGC 1499.
That was about 50 minutes on my Astro Tech 102mm ED refractor.
Happy Thanksgiving.
