Description

I almost let the California Nebula (NGC 1499) get away from me this winter. It wasn't until March 2-6 that I finally turned the telescope toward it, but by then I was hampered by wind, intermittently milky skies and its low position on the horizon. Nevertheless I shot it with my Celestron RASA 8 on parts of three nights to capture this SHO image.
