Gamma Cass and Breaking Wave 'Crest'

[JohnC64]

Well after looking at Olly and Tom's massive 'Gamma Case with Breaking wave and added Pacman'  it seemed too good an opportunity to miss when I had another clear night last night to take a peek at that area.  I knew that i would struggle with the long 30 min subs that Only and Tom went for -  so compromised on 10 min subs in Ha in the brightest area of the wave and Gamma Case.  With Tom and Olly's permission I would like to name this part of the  'Breaking wave' as the 'Breaking Wave Crest'.  (Although my wife thinks it looks like a ghost)

So Just 6 x 10 min subs in 3nm Ha - processed in PI - Histogram stretched and a smattering of noise reduction to clean things up.  Probably stretched too far and showing up some dust bunnies.  Always room for improvement :-)

I hope you enjoy
Cheers John

Gently done. A very attractive image.

Isn't this IC 59 and IC 63? https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap111103.html

Yes it is - well there is vary rarely anything new that hasn't been cataloged before :-).  IC59 and 63 it is.

It is indeed. The 'Wave' idea emerged in a long esposure widefield tracing faint nebulosity to the south of Gamma Cass.

Hmmm, that gas cloud rising and pointing straight towards Gamma Cass, looks distinctly like something else to me, a certain hand gesture from acient Greece / Rome that is still popular today. Perhaps this part of the nebula should be called the "digitus impudicus" nebula.

V nice that.
