One of our Analemma Society volunteers, Steven Powell, is a dedicated astronomical observer.  In a recent email, he said, "I'm happy to say that my 32 hour exposure image of the California nebula [NGC 1499] will be displayed as the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day on December 19th."  You can find the full-size image on the NASA website: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap231219.html   At right is a small thumbnail view.

His photograph and hundreds of other spectacular views of the cosmos can be found in the NASA Astronomical Picture of the Day archive at: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html
