Really impressive. Did you cropped from the original image? I have a similar scope minus the focal reducer, and minus clear skies for months!

Great image   A bit of constructive criticism would be that the middle of the Iris is saturated - I suggest a little less push at the brighter end of the curves.  The rest is great

I always find the Iris a processing challenge. Rather like the Orion Nebula M42 the core of the Iris is intensely bright and the dark dust is, well, dark. Really I should have taken some short exposures for the core area.

Ah yes.  I'm finding more and more objects that could do with separate exposures for light and darker parts.
