Description

Iris Nebula (NGC 7023/Caldwell 4)

I spent a night with Iris this late summer (mystical child of darkness and light)

embedded n interstellar dust.

This is a wide field image of Iris Nebula or NGC 7023 also known as Caldwell 4 and its surroundings with Ghost Nebula ( Sh2-136/VdB 141) right underneath.

Both are reflection nebulas in the constellation Cepheus around 1300 light years away from us.

Gear used, Takahashi FS 60 CB + Canon 5Da.

Clear Skies.
