Description

These two nebulae lay at approximately 7500 light years away from the Sun, in the constellation of Cassiopeia.

Several clusters are embedded in the nebulae.

Being so close to the plane of the galaxy, this picture field is extraordinary filled with stars.

The short focal length used (300mm) emphasizes the amount of small stars.

To make the picture more pleasant, I reduced the luminosity of the small stars by using a clever process in PixInsight.
