The Ghost of Cassiopeia, also know as IC 59 and IC 63. I captured this image in September from the back yard. IC 59 is the upper right point, which is a reflection nebula, and IC 63 is the brighter emission nebula in the middle. This group of nebulae reside 10,500 light years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. I included a starless versions which really highlights the detail in the nebula.
