Description

Gamma cas nebula containing the star Gamma Cassiopeiae (Navi). This is my first image processed with PixInsight which I find extremely powerful and intiutive once you figure out the philosophy of pixel manipulation. The colours are modified to approximate the Hubble palette, so the golden tones represent the Ha signal and the blue/green tones represent the S2 signal. There is very little O3 signal in the nebula but I used what little was there.
