Ngc7023 (iris nebula)

[Les Tilly]

Hi Guys,
At last a clear night so I imaged the Iris Nebula wanted to do this for a while this is 30 x 8 minutes ISO 800 shot with the Canon 40D and Takahashi 106N
This was a tricky one to process but I am happy how it turned out

Thanks for looking
Les

The Iris is one of the Northern hemisphere gems we don't get to see. Very nicely done Les

Can't say I have heard of this one Les, but now I know why, you don't live in OZ, very nice indeed, with subtle colouring, I just love these widefield images.
