Description

This is IC 63/ IC 59 also know as The Ghosts Of Cassiopeia.

The nebula, or space cloud made of gas and dust, known as IC 63, is sometimes called the Ghost Nebula. It’s about 550 light-years from us, in the direction of the constellation Cassiopeia the Queen. It looks ghostlike in telescopic images.

To me it looks just like a bed sheet ghost when you zoom in! This was a fairly difficult one to capture thanks to the really bright star know as Navi.
