Yikes! I am worn out after processing this thing. If it looks overdone, it's probably because it is! Between the faintness of the nebulae and the glare of Gamma Cassiopeia - well, you get the picture.

Have a look Here

Interesting target. It's got a cool shape to the nebulosity and I like how it interacts with the blue star. Gamma Cassiopeia sounds like a monster. Thanks for the write-up Hunter.

Excellent image of this seldom-seen and difficult target.
