Description

My first attempt at imaging the Iris Nebula.  I made a mistake and my camera was set to "offset = 1" instead of "offset = 50".  Thankfully everything seems to have turned out, even though I had to create another set of calibration images. Processing the 'dust' was a first for me and required a few different steps than I'm used to.  Enjoy!
