NGC1499 - The California nebula

The California Nebula (NGC 1499) is an emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus. It is so named because it appears to resemble the outline of the US State of California on long exposure photographs. It lies at about 1,000 light years from Earth.

This is a surprisingly large nebula that needed a considerable mosaic at a short focal length to get it all in.

This is a 2x3 mosaic, 6 panes in total.
