Description

The final phase of my Iris nebula imaging project involved stacking three imaging sessions of 4 hrs (L-Extreme), 3.2 hrs (L-Pro), and 3.5 hrs (Luminance 1 UV/IR block) with my FSQ106N and ZWO ASI6200MC camera.  My mount was an EQ6-R Pro, guide scope EvoGuide 50mm F5 and guide camera ZWO ASI120MM. Stacking was done in Sirl and post-processing in Sirl, Gimp, ImagesPlus and PS Elements.  The weather was clear and the seeing good.  Bortle 5-6, mostly Bortle 5.
