The Iris Nebula

[Yawning Angel]

It's been a few years since I tried the Iris Nebula from my B6 back garden. This is 5 hours of luminance and just over 2 hours of RGB, captured over 2 nights last week. 

APM 107 / asi1600m / Baader LRGB filters. Processed in PixInsight, including RC tools

3 processed versions. To my eyes and on my screen I'm torn between the Medium and Bold

Medium

Bold

Thanks for looking!

Interesting to see what you've achieved - I am currently imaging the exact same thing and have amassed 150m of R, G and B and 90m of Lum - it's a challenge.

I think I prefer your Medium Iris but your Bold dust/background.

Thank you! I'll be redoing it from scratch when I add some more integration time, and I agree that there is a balance somewhere between those two.
