Description

Located approximately 610 light-years away, IC 59 and IC 63 are faint reflection and emission nebulae found in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. These nebulae are challenging to observe with telescopes for several reasons. Both have an apparent magnitude of +10, exhibit very low surface brightness, and are situated around the bright variable star Gamma Cassiopeiae (γ Cas).
