Description

The two objects IC63 and IC59 are only one part of a greater region with Ha-emission around the blueish B0.5e star gamma Cassiopeiae. It's a molecular dust complex which brightest parts reflect the light from the star. The blue colored nebula structure is direct reflected starlight and the reddish borders seems ERE (extended red emission).

The picure was taken in one night in the mid of October - the last clear night for weeks now. I decided to crop and rotate the frame for aesthetic point of view.
