IC 63 in Cassiopea

IC 63 is a combination of reflection and emission nebula that lies very close to Gamma Cassiopea - just to the upper Right of this frame.
This nebula is a combination of HII region and reflection nebula. Unlike a reflection nebula which appears blue, the glowing hydrogen gas appears red in photographs.
In this image Hydrogen Alpha filter was used as Luminance.
RGB was added generally and to the star colors.
