NGC 7023, The Iris from my back garden

[lensman57]

Hi,

I did this last week as I was waiting for M42 and M45 to rise up, it is only a 2 hour or so exposure and focus was horribly off but as it was my first attempt I post it. I have processed the core to show as much as the Ha region as possible and very unlike me I did a very heavy star reduction to show off the dark material around the nebula. Atik 428EX OSC, IDAS P2 filter. Bias but no darks or flats.
