This is one of my "must have" objects.
The supernowa remnant in Cassiopeia is extremely dim. With F/3 OS Veloce RH-200 I need 10 hours of imaging for Ha to have correct SNR.
There is also small VdB 159 - blue nebula and star left down from CTB circle.
Veloce, STL 11000, EM-200.
HaRGB- 600:30:30:30.

Very nice Maciej. The SNR looks great. VdB 159 really doesn't leap out, even on the higher res image on your web page. In fact, it is tough to make out as more than a blue star which might be a little fuzzy.

I have tried this before and found it to be a VERY difficult target. Your image is truly superb!
