Description

This time I didn't photograph a galaxy, but the beautiful Iris Nebula. The Iris Nebula is in my opinion simply the most beautiful object you can photograph in the night sky. Actually I wanted to expose the object much longer than it was actually possible, unfortunately I had only a short time window from 2 am to about 5 am. I actually wanted to make the fine nebular structures visible, but due to the short exposure time this was not possible. I actually still plan to repeat this in this year and maybe then even 10-15 hours exposure time? 🤔
