Description

Had a clear night before the moon was high in my Bortle 7 sky. First time capturing Iris Nebula with its dust and dark matter. I thought it was only possible from a dark sky site. I know it is a wider field target, but wanted to use my new C8!
Used Pixinsight NarrowBandNormalization process with a broadband filter Optolong L-pro.
~ Celestron C8 XLT
~ ASI533MC Pro, Optolong L-Pro
~ Captured and stacked using ASIAir Plus
~ Only 20, 300 second light frames with flats and bias
~ ZWO AM3, guided, dithered
~ Processed in Pixinsight, Lightroom, Photoshop, Topaz Denoise
