The California Nebula was imaged on Thursday night, and the Heart Nebula was imaged this evening. Thanks for looking.

Bruno, since this is a Ha image, it is best displayed in monochrome because it is primarily the red channel. I intend to image these two objects again in RGB when the moon won't be a problem and combine it with the Ha data. Bob, the Heart nebula is a combination of 46 exposures, ISO1600 @ 240 seconds each. The California Nebula is a combination of 19 Exposures, ISO1600 @ 240 seconds each. Processed with ImagesPlus 3.80 and Photoshop CS4. I used 48 darks, 31 flats, and 30 bias frames.
