IC 63 nicknamed the Ghost Nebula is about 550 light-years from Earth. The nebula is classified as both a reflection nebula as it is reflecting the light of a nearby star and as an emission nebula as it releases hydrogen-alpha radiation. Both effects are caused by the (just out of view) gigantic star Gamma Cassiopeiae. The radiation of this star is also slowly causing the nebula to dissipate.

Capture Information:
The image was captured with the iOptron CEM120 mount, the venerable Meade 12" LX200 SCT OTA, and my QHYCCD QHY294m Pro mono CMOS camera at F7.16 (2182 mm FL)

Astronomik's Ha, OIII and SII narrow band filters were used.

Image Information -- 2023
Ha   :  45 subs (3.75hr) on Oct 13th and 15th.
OIII  :  45 subs (3.75hr) on Oct 13th and 15th.
SII   :  45 subs (3.75hr) on Oct 13th and 15th.

All exposures were at 5 minutes (300s) each, 1600 gain, 56 offset, 1x1 bin and -10C.

Processing was done with PixInsight, following (for the most part) Kayronjm's tutorial of Feb. 24th from several years back.

Ha, OIII and SII were combined as HSO color, using PixInsight’s Channel Combination process.
North is to the right (pretty sure), and this is a slight crop due to the misalignment accumulation from different filters and times. 

Comments:
With the temperature change, I’m now able to create all subs at -10C.
This is the 1st time I’ve run at this target.  

On my previous target (Stevens Quintet) I had seen problems with autofocusing on two nights.  I suspected it may have to do with SGPro’s Sequence software getting corrupted after being used and save multiple times.  I replaced the USB cable from mount to focuser and I used a (relatively) FRESH version of the SGPro sequence.  No problems occurred on this target.

ONE LAST THING:
The iOptron CEM120 mount RA excursions continue. But this target is closer towards the pole, which may mitigate the excursions.  Anyway, I was able to use all the subs (45 each Ha, O3 and S2).
