NGC 7023 - The Iris Nebula - More Data
I took a chance on a foggy night and made the trip up to my dark sky site earlier this week. I ended up getting another hour of data on the Iris Nebula before I was completely clouded over. I've probably processed this photo
about 10 times now, it has been very challenging. Here is the latest re-process. Your comments, questions and critiques are always appreciated:)
35 x 210" ISO 1600 (2 nights combined)
Stacked with 30 darks
ES ED80 Triplet Apo
ASCG-5 GT
Orion Mini Guidescope
Meade DSI II
Canon 450d un-modded
Stacked in DSS
Processed in PS CS5
Albums: Nebulae
Location: St. Catharines, Ontario

Thank you for the comments guys. Yes Marc, the contrast in the dusty areas was the hardest part! I will experiment with selective colour once I put more time on this.

Nice job on the dusty pic Trevor. It's always a pain to get good contrast between the background/dust (to me anyways). Did you use selective color at all--I find it to be a help (after a good amount of trial+error w/it). Cool Pic! Marc PS 10x's, that's all, that's a quick job lol
