First try on the Iris nebula (NGC 7023)

My first attempt at a nebula, did fairly well, but I still need more data on it. The core was a challenge, pretty bright, but fiddling with pixinsight I was able to get a decent image

I reckon you could try stretching this more, show the dirty dust clouds. 

You have amazing detail and colour  in the nebula, might contrast with dust incredibly well.

I tried it but it needed excessive stretching, so I guess it needs a little more data. Also some L data wouldn't hurt.

I like it Dan!!

You've done a lovely job there, especially the way the dust and gas billows out across the whole image.

Really lovely capture 

I don’t have very dark skies, bottle 6 and I’ve always thought I’d love to capture this part of the sky but I’m never sure it would be worth the effort. 
you've achieved a fab image for your first attempt, can I ask, how dark are your skies? 

Thanks for sharing

I'm in B 5 so give it a go!

Lovely. The full size shows really good resolution and your stars are seriously tight.

You might get more faint stuff from the present shoot. Do you use NoiseXterminator? It is a game changer when it comes to stretching faint stuff.
