Description

RGB:  30x60s each

Mauna Kea, Hawaii
(at 13,400 ft, just below the summit)

I know the Iris nebula deserves a lot more time than 1.5 hrs.  But with only 2 imaging nights on this family vacation (and heavy moon presence), I had to go pretty thin on all my targets.  As my retirement nears, I look forward to the luxury of having more time/access to dark skies.
