Description

This widefield view shows the entirety of the ghosts of Cassiopeia: IC59 and IC63

Few photographs show more than just the two most prominent nebulae mentioned above.
But there is so much more to see - faint clouds and streaks of hydrogen gas almost encircle Gamma Cassiopeiae, the central star in the constellation of Cassiopeia.

Often, you also don't see the correct colors of these nebulae, comprising partially blueish reflection nebulae and reddish emission nebulae with bright rims.
I did my best to resemble the colors as resulting from the RGB image while at the same time finding a good balance between broadband luminance and Hydrogen Alpha emission. I hope you like my composition!
