emission nebula
via Wikipedia infobox
The California Nebula (Also known NGC 1499 or Sh2-220) is an emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus. Its name comes from its resemblance to the outline of the U.S. State of California in long exposure photographs.
By coincidence, the California Nebula transits in the zenith in central California as the latitude matches the declination of the object.
