Description

The Iris Nebula (also known as NGC 7023 and Caldwell 4) is a bright reflection nebula in the constellationCepheus. The designation NGC 7023 refers to the open cluster within the larger reflection nebula designated LBN 487.

In this picture I was struggling with light pollution and large halos for bright stars. I was able to remove the light pollution well. The halos rather less. Still, I'm happy with the result.
