Object: NGC1499 The California Nebula	Emission Nebula	Const.: Perseus
Camera: SBIG STL11000M	Scope: Tele Vue NP127is	Mount: Losmandy Titan
Filter(s): Hα:R:G:B	Exposure: 16x8m:5x8m:5x8m:5x8m	blank
This image shows NGC1499, The California Nebula in Perseus. This image is a color composite of a stack of 16 eight-minute exposures taken through a Hydrogen-alpha filter used as the luminance channel (see the image below), combined with stacks of 5 eight-minute exposures taken through red, green and blue filters for the color channels. The images were calibrated, defect-corrected, stacked, color-combined and G2V-balanced using AIP4Win Version 2.
