Equipment Details:

Takahashi 106 scope, Nikon D810A camera, Astro-Physics Mach2GTO tracking mount.

Post-processing Details:

I processed the stars and the faint nebulosity separately in PhotoShop and Pixinsight. This is 67 (300-second) images stacked, or a little over 5 1/2 hours of total exposure time, starting at the time I listed.

Image Details:

This is IC59, also known as the Ghosts of Cassiopeia. The bright star is Navi (Gamma Cassiopeiae).
