NGC 1499, THE CALIFORNIA NEBULA on 2025-10-27,29,30,31
NGC 1499, the California Nebula, also named Sh2-220, is
an emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus. The field of view, with
my 6" telescope, does not permit all the nebula to be photographed in one image,
but I think this view shows the prettiest part of the nebula. NGC 1499 is
located about 1,200 light years from the Earth.
This photo was taken in Kyle, Texas through a 6-inch f/4
Telescope, on a ZWO AM5 Mount, with a ZWO ASI533MC PRO color camera plus a
dual-band Ha-O III filter. The processing was done in PixInsight. The total
image acquisition time is: 15 hours 12 minutes 00 Seconds.
