NGC7023 - The Iris nebula

[laser_jock99]

Nice processing- the challenge of this object (like M42) is the brightness of the core.

Wow, if that isn't inspirational I don't know what is. Unbelievable. So much talent on this forum, its untrue! 

Thanks! Glad that you like it

Spectacular as always Sara! You don't often see the Iris up close like this and it looks awesome.

Sara, I can only aspire to be 5% as good as the images you produce, and the moon would have to blue even then

[StargeezerTim]

That is a beautiful Iris...

I just spent 9 days at a dark site in Devon and accumulated one 10 minute sub over the whole period. At that rate, I will be in my umpteenth reincarnation before I match your data set!  And Iris will also have changed beyond recognition.

A really nice work...

Very nice Sara - the effort paid off.  Some great detail in there.

This is spectacular! 

You got this "off the camera and through APP" ??? I have tried to do mine in APP but I seem to get better control in Pixinsight to bring out more detail. Do you have a tutorial on how to work on details in APP (my changes always apply to the entire image)

Thank you Paddy - The best I think I can muster from skies that aren't great and a 6" telescope.

Thanks! I used APP for pre-processing, registration and integration. I also combined the colour and used the LP reduction tool. From there I went into photoshop to do my usual processing.

I can't stop looking at this. It's amazing!

WOW!!!  That's a real stunner - well done Sara

[Hailfire101]

Wow. I'm actually in awe of this image!!!
If i could capture anything even 20% as good as this, I'd be over the moon.

Beautiful. Well done!
