20181227 - The California Nebula and The Pleiades wide field image

Taken with a modified Canon XSI camera with a Canon 50mm lens set at f/3.5, ISO 1600 and exposed for 75 seconds, Celestron Advanced GT mount.
The original image was "over exposed" but I have discovered that that isn't always a bad thing in astrophotography of dim objects. When one "over-exposes" it is easier to increase the contrast and draw more color out. However, I might have been a little over-zealous in this shot!
