ZOINKS!!! IT'S A G G G G G G GHOST!
The Ghost of Cassiopeia.
550 light years away lies IC63. Illuminated by the blue-white sub giant variable star Gamma Cassiopeia aka Navi.

I’ve been chasing the Ghosts of Cassiopeia (IC59 and IC63) for three years now.
They’re a particularly difficult subject because of the faint background nebulosity, blurred by the intense glare of 𝛄 Cassiopeiae, the star from the homonymous constellation lighting up both nebulae.

はいよ。ハロウィンにはだいぶ遅いけど、昨日裏庭で撮ったIC63通称「ユウレイ星雲」

The Ghost of Cassiopeia (IC63) shot in LRGB from B7+ skies earlier this week. Total exposure: 10h12m

IC63 the Ghost of Cassiopeia. This is just a few hours on this target shot from my light polluted back yard. I was surprised to get this result as it is such a faint target to be shooting in city skies.✨🔭

This hauntingly beautiful (in my opinion) area of nebulosity is IC59 and IC63, the Ghosts of Cassiopeia. The bright star is Navi (more formally Gamma Cassiopeiae), one of the stars that form the distinctive "W" in the night sky. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

IC63 👻- New version.
I added 100 subframes to the 80 from the September session 🔭. Much more details in the nebula. Total of 180x180sec, about 9 hours on this target. I may modify the colour rendering a little. (Navi really annoyed me with this processing...)

The Ghosts of Cassiopeia Nebula (IC63,IC59) are clouds of dust and gas being pummeled by intense UV radiation from the blue white sub-giant star Gamma Cas. These reflection and emission nebula are ~500 ly from Earth.

Total Exp: 10 hrs from several sessions

Navi et IC63, IC59 et sa boucle de Ha.

@kat-astro-bot.bsky.social, do you see it? :)

Ghost of Cassiopeia IC63 and IC59 with four different filters, post-processed in Pixinsight to make the nebulae as clear as possible and slightly dim the stars #astrophotography

Hidden by the bright star Gamma Cassiopeiae are the reflection nebula IC59 (left) and emission nebula IC63 (center). This 9 hr image shows they are connected and IC59 also has emission. Astronauts used Gamma Cass for navigation. Gus Grissom called it Navi, his middle name backwards #astrophotography

Im at my observatory in Oregon now. I’m using my 12”f4 newtonian for this image.
This is IC63, The Ghost of Cassiopeia.

IC63 - Nébuleuse du Fantôme de Cassiopée à 500 AL de nous, elle s'étend sur une dizaine d’AL...
Compliqué, je suis parvenu a réduire le halo donut autout du halo principal qui lui, est inhérant au L-Ultimate.
Cette image mérite un peu plus de temps d'expo... ce Fantôme est une très belle cible. 🔭

IC63 - Ghost of Cassiopeia

Located about 550 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is shaped by radiation from the nearby star Gamma Cassiopeiae, which influences the gas and dust within the nebula.

MAJ sur le Fantôme de Cassiopée avec un nouveau traitement beaucoup plus joli.

3h de plus sur la nébuleuse, masque d'étoiles avec réduction, rejet de quelques images supplémentaires qui ne faisaient qu'empâter le résultat.

Clear sky over Normandy 😃🔭, -2°C at the moment, -4°C tonight... 🥶The cables are very stiff, so we'll have to check the meridian flip carefully! 😅Fortunately, the ASIair Station mode works pretty well! 🙂
Tonight I'm adding some new subs to the Ghost 👻 (IC63).

The bane of all #astrophotography 🔭 📷 amateurs is stars throwing a tantrum right next to tiny, delicate, nebulae...Navi is such a star, glowing from just beyond the top left corner of this image of the Ghost of Cassiopeia #IC63 I shot from my backyard 🙂. What do you see @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

The overexposed star in the lower right is known as Gamma Cassiopeiae.
The V shaped nebula in the center is IC 63.
The nebula above Gamma Cass is IC 59.
Both nebulae together are designated Sharpless 2-185.
