One of the best ways to learn a new subject is to watch someone do it.  In this video, I go through the major steps of capturing the California Nebula, an emission nebula, under heavily light-polluted skies.  Along the way, I also show you my best practices for knowing when the mount is ready to start, how to achieve very precise star synchronization, and focus, just to name a few of the topics covered.  Your constructive criticism, comments, and questions are always welcome.  Thanks for watching and subscribing!
