I captured California Nebula with my telescope in the Ozarks
Richard Harris reveals the hidden beauty of NGC 1499, California Nebula through 18 hours of deep-sky imaging. A breathtaking look at sulfer and hydrogen light, cosmic structure, and the quiet wonder waiting above Missouri’s dark skies.
We return to the Orion region after 2 years to uncover new details using our latest gear, the Takahashi FSQ-106 EDX4, a 6200MM camera, and 3nm Chroma filters. This setup promises to reveal even more breathtaking features than my 2022 attempt.
