Description

Quite remarkable nebulas IC 63 and IC 59 lie close to Gamma Cassiopeia, a white-blue subgiant variable star. Due to  the close proximity to this very bright star it is not easy to control halos, flares etc. My LRGB filters are not the greatest (it is a cheap ZWO filter set) so I had to correct a few flares at the edge of the frame. But overall not bad for a 200USD filter set.

Image taken over a few nights, Ha was taken from a Bortle 6 zone, LRGB from a good Bortle 4 zone.
