Description

The Iris nebula has always fascinated me because of the dark nebula. NGC 7023 is a reflection nebula in Cepheus and is illuminating the dark gas by SAO 19158. this a compilation of 52 LRGB sub of 180 sec to 300 sec. This nebula is 1300 light years distant and I love the bright blue refection given off from 19158 from the gas and dust.
