Equipment:
I used my TS Apochromatic refractor (80/480), a HEQ5 equatorial mount and an unmodded Canon EOS 60D.
Description:
It extends in our skies for a length of more than five times the Moon and in these nights it "flies" silently over our heads: it is the California Nebula. Although it is completely invisible to our eyes, the nebula begins to lower its veils with a simple camera, a telescope and a bit of patience. With a handful of minutes of exposure, in fact, the California turns on: the beautiful red-magenta that characterizes the emission nebulae comes out quickly filling the image and our eyes. Around her an endless field of stars that in a space of thousands of light years shines with shades ranging from sapphire blue to ruby red. A bomb of pure energy 1000 light years away.
