Description

IC 59 and IC 63, known as the Gamma Cassiopeia nebula in SHO. My son named it the

"Dragon Nebula". The SII component is just as strong as the Ha in this nebula, however, the OIII component is very weak.

There is a strong reflection component in this nebula which does not appear in the narrow band frames, but is worth integrating RGB data at a later update.
