Description

The Iris nebula is a reflection nebula in Cepheus. It's a fairly bright nebula surrounding a 7th mag. star ( HD 200775). The surrounding field has a dim glow caused by this star. It lies 1400 light years away. I wish I could have captured more of the outer dust, but my skies wouldn't allow it.

All in all, a fun object to image and process.
