Description

Realized I could get the Ghost Nebula as well as the Iris Nebula, so I started over capturing this with a little more integration time to see whether the dark nebulosity came out better than my previous image of NGC7023.

I feel that I'm improving on extracting the dark nebulosity especially when I compare with previous images with dark nebulosity .....

The very orange star near the center of the image is T Cephei - an M6 spectral type red giant.
