Iris Nebula Wide Field

Description

A deep wide field of the area of the Iris Nebula, which can be found around 7 o'clock near the center of the image.

One nice touch is perhaps the red arch on the right area of the image, identified as SH2 133, which certainly adds a nice touch to the scene, otherwise dominated by dusty molecular clouds. The hydrogen-alpha inSH2-133 also seems to extend further from the clearly visible arch, as if it was cradling 6 Cephei, the bright blue star on the left of the arch that also seems to illuminate some reflective dust around it.
