NGC 7023 - Iris Nebula

[nmontec]

This is my first shot in LRGB of a reflection nebula with the GSO RC8. I wanted to shoot it with a long focal length since a long time ago, when I had the Vixen VISAC, but could not do for many reasons. I like the soft shades of blue of the central region. In the future I think I'll shoot it wide field as well with the FSQ in order to contextualize the nebula in the vast sea of dust clouds in the area.
