Finished this one last night in an all nighter making the most of the new Moon and clear(ish) skies.
Amazing part of the sky in Cassiopeia with a mixture of dark and reflection nebulae as well as open clusters. Taken under crummy skies and not enough luminance to do away with the background noise. For a proper version see Thomas Davis' : https://www.astrobin.com/357618/0/?nc=user

I already liked this image on Astrobin.

Very nice Roberto.  Where are you finding the clear skies?

Well done - an unusual set of objects with really excellent framing and IC166 looks superb at full resolution.  Very well processed (to my eye), what noise there is is so subtle as being virtually non-existent.

Keep them coming.
