The frame only includes the central portion of the California Nebula and comprises of over 20.8 hours of imaging time in narrowband filters. Final image is a combination of Hα, Oiii and Sii emissions.

The very strong Hydrogen and Sulfur emissions give the nebula the distinct cotton swab look and marked orange-red hue.
