Fresh Ghosts for Autumn nights IC 63 and IC 59

The Ghost of Cassiopeia (IC 63) is a unique hybrid emission-and-reflection nebula located at the center of the great W. It is actively being sculpted, eroded, and ionized by the intense radiation of the W's blue giant star, Gamma Cassiopeiae (Tiansi). The emission nebulosity glows a fantastic pink, while purplish-blue streamers of reflected starlight from cooler dust and gas weave through the ghostly sheets. It really is the perfect Autumn target - name and all! 9 hrs Dwarf mini multinight capture with the DuoBand filter - 30s and 60s exposures - Stacked in SIRIL post with Photoshop.
