Description

The California Nebula is an emission nebula in Perseus.
It is located about 1,000 light years from earth and was discovered in 1884 by E. E. Barnard.

This image was acquired in my Bortle 7 backyard with a Canon T3i with an Antlia ALP-T Filter, an Esprit 100 telescope on an EQ6-R Pro mount.

It consists of 54 180 second exposures for a total integration time of 2.7 hours.
