California Nebula and NGC1333 Area


Astrophoto Home Page | Home Page
  
This photo shows the region in Perseus which includes the California Nebula and NGC1333 area. The California Nebula is large and easily photographed but difficult to see visually because it emits largely in H-alpha light. NGC1333 barely shows up in this photo but very long exposures show it to be a very interesting region of turbulent gas.
