There is a rather pretty pair of reflection nebulae in Cassiopeia, IC 59 and IC 63 joined by fainter nebulosity and dust. I think they would make a fine 2-pane mosaic. IC59IC63.jpg I can't see that it has been submitted by anyone else. The bright star Navi (gamma-Cas) is just out of frame, and will probably cause some flare, but other astrophotographers have managed to tame it, Any comments?
Looks a good fit Richard and I'm glad you've moved that pesky bright star as far away as possible. Just wondering what filters you want to use.  Cheers,  Ray

It is actually a mixed pair of emissions/reflection nebulae. IC63 is strong in Ha and IC59 a more balanced reflection nebula. I am thinking HaRGB with Ha added into R and as a synthetic L. The Ha as L could help to tame gamma-Cas. Need to play around, but I think Ha, R, G, B are the right filters.

From having received data some time back on these two targets I found that there was very little oxygen signal despite a lot of integration time, so those filters would be a good choice.
