The Iris Nebula

[steviemac500]

The Iris Nebula. 18 hours in total over several nights. Processing in PI. I used John Rista's NR techniques and applied some slight deconvolution. I also de-emphasised the stars using the method detailed by Adam Block. I processed the nebula separately using Starnet in PI an deliberately didn't over saturate the stars. Finally I went back and slightly darkened the background. Hope you like it, comments and criticism welcomed.

That's excellent.

Very nice. I like the subtlety of the colours. I was imaging this target last night too but only got 2 hours on it and subtlety of processing isn’t my strong point...
