IC 63 & IC 59 - the Ghost of Cassiopeia / Le fantôme de Cassiopée

This is IC 63, the ghost of Cassiopeia, and IC 59, the tail of the ghost, distant from 600 light years. These emission nebulae are located in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It's an LHaRHaVB image. A significant exposure time for the Ha layer allowed to have a very strong signal that highlights huge hydrogen clouds present around these magnificent objects. Layer L shows some clouds of dark dust despite a very bright Navi (γ Cas) star. One of the difficulties of the treatment was to reduce the intensity of the halo.
I hope you like this version.

Voici IC 63, le fantôme de Cassiopée, et IC 59, la queue du fantôme, distant l'un de l'autre de 600 années lumières. Ces nébuleuses en émission sont situées dans la constellation de Cassiopée. C'est une image LHaRHaVB. Un temps de pose conséquent pour la couche Ha a permis d'avoir un signal très fort qui met en évidence d'immenses nuages d'hydrogène présent tout autour de ces objets magnifiques. La couche L montre quelques nuages de poussières sombres malgré une étoile Navi (γ Cas) très lumineuse. Une des difficultés du traitement fut de réduire l'intensité du halo.
J'espère que cette version sera à votre goût.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
