NGC 7023
NGC 7023 better known as the Iris Nebula, is a bright reflection nebula in the constellation Cepheus. The NGC 7023 designation is technically the open cluster in the triangular open area to the lower left of the bright blue area, which is actually LBN 487. The nebula is surrounded by lots of dark clouds of dust and molecular gas.
Captured during April through June 2020 from my remote observatory in Taxahaw, SC.
36 hours total integration time.
Equipment used:
Explore Scientific 127mm APO triplet refractor
ZWO API1600mm Pro cooled monochrome camera
Astrodon R, G and B filters
Orion Atlas Pro AZ/EQ-G mount
Captured with SGP and stacked/processed in PixInsight
