Iris nebula (NGC7023)

Hi all,

This is my first image I upload. One of my favorite targets. Hope you like the rendition.

Excellent result and details.   Love the dust and Iris core detail. 

I presume you mean you first image upload on here and not your first image ever.

Yes, sure, first image I upload here, not my first image ever 😄

Thanks for the comment

That really is a nice image, @mgutierrez.  I like that blue against the brown dust. It really is a rather special object the Iris isn’t it?  My ED80 doesn’t really do it justice because as an object it’s quite small.    It would be interesting to know how many subs/filters etc you used if you’d care to tell us.

Thanks. A recipe that gives good results. Lot of processing!

Another great image Miguel, this is a target I have tried recently but weather was not good and much clouds passing stopped me getting any decent detail.
I take it this was with the Esprit 100 and the QHY268M ?

Like the others above I love the image and you have capured lots of the dark stuff 🙂

That gives me moivation to try again, mind you dark skies probably help with this target, I struggle from Home with LRGB. Looks like most of the detail is added via the Luminance so perhaps that is what I should concentrate on 🙂
