Field near the bright star Gamma Cassiopeiae, or Navi, at left, with the reflection nebulae IC 63 (bottom) and IC 59, aka the Ghost of Cassiopeia, above the bright star. At lower right is the star cluster NGC 129, while at top centre is a loose cluster NGC 225, aka the Sailboat Cluster. It has a small patch of reflection nebulosity near it, identified as van denBurgh 4 in the Tri-Atlas. It was not marked on other atlases. Many orange giant stars saturate the area.
