Iris nebula

[Stevec35 (Steve)]

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

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.

Yep just looked at Martins Iris, wow!!!

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

Cheers,

Justin.

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.
