The California Nebula (NGC 1499) is an emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus. Named after the nebula’s resemblance to the US State of California, it is extremely large.
The distinct red glow is caused by the nearby hot, star Xi Persei that can be seen in the top right of my image.

The Great Andromeda Galaxy - with its neighbors Messier 32 and Messier 110 . Began this project on Oct. 11, 2024 and finished up on Dec. 2nd. This is the third object of Messier’s 110 objects I have captured on my astrophotography journey. #andromeda #spiralgalaxy #astrophotography #nightsky

Amazing starry night facing NE last night at 6:45pm from one of the best dark sky locations I get to visit often. Taken with my iPhone15 Pro Max without filter.

Can you see Cassiopeia, Ursa Minor, Cepheus, or the Draco Constellation?
