IC 59 and IC 63
IC 59 and IC 63 are two comet shaped nebulae near the bright star Gamma Cassiopeiae (γ Cas, γ Cassiopeiae), which is the energy source of their illumination. Being closer to the star, IC 63 shows more brightening of its front edge and stronger H-II emission. IC 59 is situated further away fron the star and has lower level of HII emission which makes its reflection component to appear more prominent.
