Perseus Area+Auriga, Wide Angle

This shot shows the same objects as my Perseus Area shot, plus the Pleiades left & lower than the California Nebula, Jupiter above and to the left of that, and just above these 3 objects is the constellation Auriga with the Winter Milky Way running through it.  The red nebulosity is IC405, the Flaming Star.  Above this is M38, and to the left and up a bit M36, and further in the same direction M37 (very small in this very wide-angle shot!
