Shot in the HOO palette, more as an experiment. An almost full Moon and a camera not meant for this kind of shooting, only a ZWO ASI 183 MC was on hand, but something came out; regular RGB is missing. IC 63 is both a reflection and emission nebula, a mesmerizing object. I will definitely come back with a different setup.
