About this image

Almost forgot this one and only just processed with Pixinsight. Pleased with capturing so much of the winter Milky Way and surprised to see the California nebula show up so well with an unmodded dslr. I usually have severe light pollution gradients on widefield images but for an unknown reason this one was quite tame.
