 "We have only ever captured the California Nebula in widefield images but as the weather has precluded imaging from Lowestoft, we used data from the COAST robotic telescope on Mount Teide Tenerife and added infra red data from the WISE infra-red space telescope to  produce this dusty and Ha, S11 and O111 enhanced image of just one part of the nebula". -  Karl Segin outreach officer at the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
