Description

NGC 1499 the California nebula in the constellation Perseus

The California nebula is an emission nebula, located approximately 1000 light years away from earth and it gets its name from  the resemblance to the state of California.

The nearby star, Menkib, causes the nebula to glow, which results in an almost 3D look.

This image is composed of nearly 9 hours of exposure time, spread over 4 different nights (actually started shooting this nebula a few months ago)

I am very happy with how this picture ended up, and I would love to hear your thoughts!
