CE750 captain reports turning the wrong direction initially departing runway 16R at vny on the canog...

Narrative:

On takeoff on the canoga 1 departure I started to turn left to 100 degree heading. The departure requires a right turn. I have taken off from vny and always turned left to 100. I did not clearly understand the canoga 1 departure. We briefed it but I think I was preset at left to 100 and did not hear the right turn instructions or see them as I looked at the departure. I had the FMS set correctly and it is what prompted me to see my error. I had just started my left turn and saw the needle turn right. At about the same time my first officer cued me to turn right and the tower also cued me to turn right. I corrected and we went on from there. We did not create a traffic problem. I think the #1 problem was my preset to turn left. It caused me to overlook the correct data. Contributing cause was a quick turn as we were a recovery flight. I did not feel we rushed at the time but I think I needed to take more time.
