The image depicts a wide field straddling the border that separates the Perseus (left) and Taurus (right) constellations. The headliners of this show are the California Nebula (Sh2-220, NGC 1499, lower left) and the Pleiades (Messier 45, the Seven Sisters, Subaru) along with a small supporting cast. The raison d'être for this picture is to express both the apparent closeness of the two main objects in our sky, and yet also depict the vast physical expanse between them. The image spans an angular area of roughly 15° × 9.5°—enough to fit 570 full moons into the frame!
