Description

Officially known as IC 63, this nebula is located 550 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia the Queen.

Captured over 2 nights, Aug 30, 31, 2021.  Exposures included 180, 240, and 300 seconds subframes.

I found that trying to control the brightness of the illuminary was pretty difficult, for my level of post-processing.  I tamed it a bit, but am not totally happy with it.
