Description

Dual Narrowband recording at 70% Moon

IC 63 & IC 59, also known as The Ghost of Cassiopeia,  located 550 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. 

The post-processing of the nebula is not so easy, because the bright star (the middle one from the sky W) Gamma Cassiopeia, shines extremely bright.
Fortunately, the Antlia filter does not cause a halo.
