Description

  • IC 63, also known as "The Ghost of Cassiopeia", is an area of molecular hydrogen clouds and dust located 550 light-years away in the constellation, appropriately enough, of Cassiopeia. This region is both an emission nebula and a reflection nebula. The gas and dust in this region are bombarded with radiation from the bright star Gamma Cassiopeia.

How fun.  I just used Star, Blur, and Noise Xterminators.  I have some new toys that I will probably go back and fix some other recent images.
