Description

The Iris Nebula - NGC  7023 in Cepheus. The Iris is a beautiful, bright reflection nebula approximately 1300 light years away.  I tried to capture as much of the  surrounding dark nebulosity as I could. 

This image is comprised of about 18 hours of data shot at F2 with the Celestron RASA 8.
