The California Nebula (NGC 1499) is an emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus. It lies at a distance of about 1,000 light-years from Earth, and spans across 100 light-years approximately.

I believe this is the last image of 2019, and it was taken in November. It has been a good year, thank you all for your encouragement, through your comments and hitting that like button.

The yellow/golden version is something I came up with by mistake, and decided to share it as well.

Clear Skies, and may our next rotation around the Sun be gracious for everyone.
