IRIS Nebula close up and wide view

This is a combination of 3 nights and two different scopes. I started capturing images back in September with my 81mm for a couple of nights. Then in October I decided to capture some images with my 190mm Mak/Newt. The close up is just the 190, but the wide angle is both. I used RGB filters on the 81mm and I just used an IR/Cut filter on the close up. The colors on the close up are how the imaged stacked, I did not edit the colors.

Not sure why I never posted, but I then I wondered if I could combine the sessions, which I did through APP. So here is the final products.

NGC 7023 is considered an open star cluster associated with a reflection nebula. The Iris Nebula is about 6 light year across and 1,300 light years away. Within the nebula is dusty material that surrounds super hot, massive young stars.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
