Description

IC 53 & IC 63. A pair of reflection nebulae accompanied by the massive variable star Gamma Cassiopeiae. This data was never supposed to see the light of day. It was gathered from my backyard while I configured and tested my new 10" Newtonian telescope. To say this thing is a beast is an understatement and I can't wait to get it under dark moonless sky and see what it can really do. Though I must say this is pretty decent for having come from such a bright sky and during a full moon.
