Here's a couple of real faint nebulae. Gamma Cassiopeia makes this region a processing challenge.

Mate! You're such a good imager. That is a great image. The object itself isn't much to talk about but you've managed to make the whole image fascinating and interesting. The lovely star colours (on the linked image more so than the compressed jpeg) and you've captured that big bright star in a way that it becomes a feature rather than a nuisance. Well done!

You captured a lot of the outer nebulosity for such a short exposure, Tom.
I think that you handled Gamma Cass well. It shouldn't appear to be a mag 20 star. It is, after all, one BRIGHT star.
My regards,

Very nice, Tom! You've done a great job with the RGB in this area. This area tends to be done more often in narrow-band, but you pulled it off great with regular color!
