NGC 1499, the California Nebula

I tried a new to me technique using HDR processing in Photoshop. It is easy to do on landscape images, not so easy on DSOs. Still, it ended up being a bit interesting so I ran with it and am posting it. I also used a technique where I combined the same image, but with slightly different processing in Photoshop, so basically a bracketing and blending technique. Again, that is something I did for my landscape stuff so I decided to try it on this DSO.
