Description

This image depicts a beautiful faint ghostly nebula next to the star Navi in Cassiopeia. I can only imagine the countless people who looked up & saw Navi within the distinctive "W" of Cassiopeia with their naked eye, not knowing this nebula even existed. It reminds me a lot of why I got into this hobby, to capture the faintest light & share the beauty of space.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out despite the aberrations that are still present. I'm going to work on fixing them in the future. 
Any & all feedback is appreciated!
