Description

As of right now, I believe this to be a potential reflection nebula discovery. The bright star in the frame is HD 3564 near the constellation of Cassiopeia. Since I lack the equipment or location to get a decent image of it, I decided to buy some time on a CDK500 from SkyGems. Sadly, I only had enough money for 3.5 hours (I'm planning to get 20 minutes more of blue data). It was also my first time processing a LRGB image so I had no idea how to work with the data. 
Honestly, I don't like how the image looks. I know my processing sucks, but I think the lack of data has a role to play.

Using Aladin, I was able to locate the nebula with the these equatorial coordinates (J2000):
00 40 30.433 +66 53 39.40
