Iris nebula

[Stevec35]

Good evening

The skies have finally cleared over Arizona so this is the first image from the Arizona 20cm telescope for a while. There were some funny gradients going on but I think the colour isn't too bad. More data might have added some improvement too.

Cheers

Steve

That is nice Steve!

I've seen a quite a few images of this object on other forums, and yours is the best so far.

Cheers,

Justin.

Thanks Justin. That's high praise indeed! I don't think you can have seen Martin's.

Wow! Beautiful deep shot. Lovely colors and loads of dust to boot. :thumbsup:

Yep just looked at Martins Iris, wow!!!

But what you would expect from a world class astro photographer.

Cheers,

Justin.

Thanks Laurie



Thanks Ross it's one of the north's best



Thanks Steve



Thanks Rick. I like the dust too.



Yep - no contest which is best but I don't think this is too bad for a small scope.



Thanks Marc. Yes the dust adds to the appeal. I don't know of too many similar objects. Perhaps M78.
