Star Gamma Cassiopeiae and nebulae IC 59 & 63
Manually guided for 5 x 7-minute exposures at ISO 1600, f/6.25. Modified EOS 600D & Sky-Watcher ED80 refractor, piggybacked on a Celestron C8 telescope for guiding.
The red halo around Gamma Cass is an imaging artefact (Probably an internal reflection). Also, I had to crop the image due to badly distorted stars around some edges - evidently something wasn't aligned correctly.
Registered and stacked using DeepSkyStacker; initial curves adjusted in Canon Photo Professional; final curves & colour-balance adjusted using Paint Shop Pro; noise reduction via CyberLink PhotoDirector.
