Description

he California Nebula (NGC 1499/Sh2-220) is an emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus. Its name comes from its resemblance to the outline of the US State of California in long exposure photographs. 

Trying not to overprocess this image as I think its quite beautiful, and less is more.
