The Iris Nebula - A reprocess of my data taken in June of last year, this time utilizing Pixinsight before bringing it into Photoshop to finish it up. I have processed this data from scratch many times but for the first time I am really happy with how it came out. .

Iris Nebula - LBN 487 / NGC 7023 Taken from my backyard in Providence, RI, this target is located in the constellation Cepheus. The central open star cluster (NGC 7023) is surrounded by a reflection nebula (LBN 487). The nebula is lit up by its central star but is also shown to be surrounded by a lot of dark dust, known as dark nebula, which extends far beyond the edges of this image. I didn't know what I was getting into trying to take and process data on this from heavily light polluted skies. When I first shared this reprocess I thought I had only gotten around 4 - 5 hours of data, turns out this is just over 8. I figure to really make this target pop like it is worthy, I'd need to at least double the amount of data if I am to continue shooting it from my current location in the future. This data, taken in June, took me until now to come up with a process that i was content enough with to share. . 161 x 180s (8h 3m) Dark, flat, dark flat, and bias calibration frames 800 ISO - Bortle 8 .

The Iris Nebula is a cloud of dust and gas that is reflecting light from the bright star at the centre. It is actually a small region that happens to be close-by in our stellar neighborhood. The challenge for astrophotographers is to capture the asymmetrical dark areas around it and in front of it, revealing the complexity of this region. #irisnebula #ngc7023 #astronomiefrance #astronomie #astrophotography #astrophotographiefrance #poussieredetoile #poussièredétoiles #poussieresdetoiles #stardust #astronomy (at Strasbourg, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeqP1PrMErM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

1300光年先の反射星雲「NGC 7023」。宇宙に咲く花のように見えることから、「アイリス星雲」の名があります。 実際の宇宙シリーズ作ってみようと思います。 裏側は金と銀でキラッキラです！ #ガラス #ボロシリケイト #アイリス星雲 #NGC7023 #glass #borosilicate #glassofig #headyart #galaxy #瞑想 #かぎろひ #屋舎

Iris nebula (NGC 7023) by Antti Kuntsi Via Flickr: Iris nebula is a very bright reflection nebula in Cepheus. The NGC7023 is a cluster within the nebula and the dusty cloud itself is cataloged as LBN 487. The Iris nebula is also associated with a larger dark cloud of interstellar dust.
