IC 59 & IC 63

First time out for a while, but managed to grab a couple of hours of these two in Cassiopea.

The bright blue star is Gamma Cassiopeiae. It is currently evaporating two nearby clouds of gas- IC 59 (pointy one) and IC 63. The leading edges of these clouds glow strongly in the intense bath of radiation from this hot star. Hints of bluish light behind the front lines of these nebulae show a bit of scattered light. Astronomically speaking, these clouds don't have much more time and will soon be blown away into the interstellar medium.

Just a quick process, I need to sort out that star!

Ha 13 x 10 mins, RBG 10 x 5 mins bin each

Nebula has come out really well and Gamma Cass is well controlled. You could make the nebula stand out more and make it much redder and as you said stars are out but all in all a splendid effort.
