The Gamma Cassiopeiae Nebula - IC59 - IC63 - Sh2-185

[EN] IC59 and IC63 are reflection and emission nebulae in the constellation of Cassiopeia (recognisable by its 'W' shape). It is located very near the bright center star of the constellation, Gamma Cassiopeia (Y-Cas or Navi). It seems to be a challenge to make a decent picture of it, mainly because the faint nebula is close to the very bright Gamma Cassiopeia star. But hey – I’m known as a famous Ghostbuster so I caged this Cassiopeia Ghost 😊

[NL] IC59 en IC63 zijn reflectie- en emissienevels in het sterrenbeeld Cassiopeia (herkenbaar aan de 'W'-vorm). Ze bevinden zich vlakbij de heldere centrale ster van het sterrenbeeld, Gamma Cassiopeia (Y-Cas of Navi). Het lijkt een uitdaging om er een fatsoenlijke foto van te maken, vooral omdat de zwakke nevel dicht bij de zeer heldere Gamma Cassiopeia-ster staat. Maar goed, ik sta bekend als een beroemde Ghostbuster, dus ik heb deze Cassiopeia Geest veilig gevangen 😊

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
