Description

Taken at the Almost Heaven Star Party, 2022.  The Iris Nebula is a broadband, reflection nebula in Cepheus.  Many photographers take photos of the bright blue core, but that feature is surrounded by lots of dark interstellar dust that is hard to photograph from all but the darkest sites.

This represents ~6 hours of LRGB data, taken from a Bortle 2 location
