Description

BOO! 👻

The Ghost of Cassiopeia Nebula taken from the Eldorado Star Party at X Bar Ranch Nature Retreat on October 27th, 2022.

Located a few light years from Navi, the middle star in W-shaped constellation Cassiopeia, intense ultraviolet radiation from the star ionizes Hydrogen gas and emits the pink glow. Navi is also bright enough for dust in to reflect starlight, also giving the nebula a blue-ish color.
