Description

Powerful gushers of energy from seething stars can sculpt eerie-looking figures with long flowing veils of gas and dust. One striking example is "the Ghost of Cassiopeia," officially known as IC 63, located 550 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia the Queen.

Capturing this object from my location made me forced to deal with harsh direct lights near the horizon in addition to the normal light pollution.
