Hello Uwe,

and thank you very much for reminding these nebulae, and thanks to you and Akarsh for the great sketches!

I have just 2 entries in my observing log book: Of August 10th, 2016, and of October 10th, 2018:
6" F/5 achro
Leica L 32mm, Leica HC Plan S 25mm, Hensoldt 15mm
blue(RGB)CCD 400nm - 510nm filter, H-Beta 12nm filter
Erlanger Oberland, Bortle 3-4

H-Beta: both nebulae very faint and well separated
Blue(RGB)CCD: both nebulae brigther, faint bridge between them.

The better view through the blue(RGB)CCD filter is expalaind by a mix of HII and of the Rayleigh scattering in the nebulae.
Unfortunately, I have made no sketch for the documentation.

This area of skies is generally worth of a closer inspection.
The IC 59 and IC 63 belong possibly to a band of faint light extending south to Theta-Mu Cassiopeiae, and this band has been visible through the 15x85 binoculars with the H-Beta filters on other observing sessions.

Clear skies,
Jiri
