Description

The Iris nebula is a bright reflection nebula also known as NGC 7023 or Caldwell 4 in the constellation of Cepheus.
The nebula is illuminated by the star HD 200775
It's my very first time trying to shoot this deep sky object and I did it accompanied by @Carlos Uriarte   who very kindly and selflessly lend me his battery, sacrificing the fact of being able to capture with his equipment, because where we went there was no electricity. Mental note: buy a portable battery for astrophotography. Many thanks, Carlos! Very appreciated!
