Description

I tried to do my first ever mosaic. This is a 12 panel mosaic about the California nebula, 12 x 2 hrs of H-alpha data. NGC 1499 lies at a distance of about 1,000 light years from Earth. Its fluorescence is due to excitation of the Hβ line in the nebula by the nearby prodigiously energetic O7 star, Xi Persei.
