NGC1499 California Nebula

A colour take on the California Nebula (NGC1499).

The California Nebula is an emission nebula located in the Northern constellation of Perseus, approx 1300 light years distant.

Taken through Luminance/Red/Green/Blue filters on a monochrome astrocamera. The result is a 4 panel mosaic of 36 minute (9 x 240s) exposures on each filter, and each of four panels. That's around 9.6 hours total exposure (2.4 hours on each panel).
