The Iris Nebula

The Iris is a tough process. Pulling up the faint brown dust, maintaining depth in the core, the mix of cool and warm colors. It's got it all.

 

It's probably why I've been relentlessly reprocessing my data for the last 8 years. Seriously.

 

This one was captured with the ZWO ASI294MC Pro and Esprit 100. I processed this while listening to @accidentalastro 's brilliant talk on the science of image sensors.
