NGC 7023 Iris Nebula

10 May 2026

This is the Iris Nebula. I find this hard to capture because it’s a dark nebula and rises in a light polluted area of my sky. However, with the aid of many 60 or 90 second captures and some processing, I managed to coax some detail. Ideally, I’d get many more nights on this to increase SNR but that depends on the weather
