The Iris Nebula & LBN487

Description

New Process, this area is a very densely packed star region and I felt a lot of data was hidden so carefully I reprocessed it and I was able to reveal much more of the very faint nebulous regions in LBN 487

Captured over 2 nights from the Grand Mesa Observatory Colorado, using the QHY367C One Shot Color CMOS Camera on Walter Holloway's Takahashi FSQ130

Total Integration Time 5.93 Hours
