Or I call it the Grim Reaper Nebula...

This has been my little project for the last 2 months, I think I need to move onto something different now. Data for this project is 7 hours with Darks & Flats applied additional.... Taken with a MN190 & a Self Modded Canon 1100D.

That's just fantastic-good skillz Nadeem!! Can I ask what's the name of the really bright star in top right? So many different colours in this picture. Fantastic :)

That is a really nice image, Nadeem.

The slightly fainter nebula running up and left of the reaper is IC59.

The bright star is Gamma Cassiopiea, an eruptive variable mag 2 to 3.

Some think the nebula may have been thrown off by Gamma Cass.

Apparantly IC63 can be seen visually with a reasonably small aperture and very dark sky provided Gamma is pushed out of the field.
