A Ghost for Halloween


The Ghost of Cassiopeia (IC59 and IC63) is an emission and reflection nebula illuminated by the bright star in this image, Gamma Cassiopeia (also know as Navi). This is a stack of about 100 x 30-second integrations in H-alpha. Scope: ST-80 @ F/4; imager, Mallincam DSm. It was a cold night tonight and this little ghost seemed to be perfectly in the spirit of the upcoming holiday.
