Edit- I added a color version of the California Nebula that is representative of the typical color pallet used with Hubble images. It assigns red and blue to the hydrogen and oxygen color channels.
I had a nice clear night on 10/28 into 10/29. I set up to image two targets. The first is the California Nebula and the second is the Rosette Nebula. Gear for both was the same.
Hardware:
-Redcat 51 telescope, 250mm FL, f/5.6
-ZWO ASI2600mc Pro camera
-Celestro AVX mount
-ZWO Mini Guide Scope w/ Orion Starshoot autoguide camera
-Optolong L-Extreme narrowband filter
-MeLE Quieter 3Q Mini PC to run everything
Software:
-Sequence Generator Pro for acquisition
-Pixinsight for processing
-Touch-ups in Photoshop
California Nebula
-43 x 300sec subexposures, Gain 100
-3.5hrs total integration time
Rosette Nebula
-33 x 300sec subexposures, Gain 100
-2.75hrs total integration
1. California Nebula

2. Rosette Nebula
3. Rosette Nebula with stars removed and cropped in to more easily see the detail in the Nebula.
