Description

"IC 63 is an emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia in the northern sky. This nebula and the reflection nebula IC 59 are located close to the bright star Gamma Cassiopeiae. From a physical point of view, the star is only 3 to 4 light years away from the nebulae. IC 63 is slightly closer to γ Cas and glows predominantly in red H-alpha light. IC 59 is further away from the star and has proportionally fewer H-alpha emissions, but more of the characteristic blue hue.

The object was discovered in 1890 by Welsh astronomer Isaac Roberts." - Wikipedia


During processing, I lost one night's worth of data, but for this, I am still happy with the result.
I hope you like it.
