Here is an image of IC 63 in Cassiopeia. This one is taken without Gamma Cas (Navi) since that makes the image so much more challenging. A full size image and exposure / processing details are at:

Man, I love these shots! 8)
I thank you for bringing these "somewhat un-popular" objects to the Forum... they are surely interesting & beautiful.

Clear skies Jim! 8)
