Here's my latest,  taken over a couple of nights this summer:

37265584106_cb75984eb8_b.jpg

17x600s L 1x1, 17x180s R,G and B 2x2 binned (don't like the 2x2 binning, no binning for me from now on).  Flats, darks and bias, equipment as per sig, Pixinsight.

 

The Iris Nebula (NGC7023) in Cepheus is a dark nebula and reflection nebula.  The dark cloud of inert dust and gas obscuring the background stars is illuminated in the centre by a mag-7 star, reflecting pale blue starlight.  It is 1,300 light-years away and 6 light-years across. 

 

Hope you enjoy !
