The California Nebula is an emission area located in constellation Perseus at distance of about 1000 light-years. It appears to resemble the outlines of the State of California on long exposure photographs, like this one.

The nebula has a very low surface brightness and it's very difficult to observe visually. The image spans around five degrees horizontally. The Wikipedia article states that the angular size is about 2,5 degrees (five full Moons side by side) but as can be seen in this image, the actual size, with a dim outer part, is much large.

This target was shot on January 23, 2020, with exposure time of 12 hours.
