Description

NGC 1499, the California Nebula, from Baja California. This is an HII region produced by radiation from Menkib, the blue giant star near the center. Lots of dust around that would come out better in a longer exposure. This was taken with a tiny 40 mm telescope standing next to the 2 m telescope at the National Astronomical Observatory, San Pedro Martir, Mexico.
