Iris Nebula - LBN 487 / NGC 7023 Taken from my backyard in Providence, RI, this target is located in the constellation Cepheus. The central open star cluster (NGC 7023) is surrounded by a reflection nebula (LBN 487). The nebula is lit up by its central star but is also shown to be surrounded by a lot of dark dust, known as dark nebula, which extends far beyond the edges of this image. I didn't know what I was getting into trying to take and process data on this from heavily light polluted skies. When I first shared this reprocess I thought I had only gotten around 4 - 5 hours of data, turns out this is just over 8. I figure to really make this target pop like it is worthy, I'd need to at least double the amount of data if I am to continue shooting it from my current location in the future. This data, taken in June, took me until now to come up with a process that i was content enough with to share. . 161 x 180s (8h 3m) Dark, flat, dark flat, and bias calibration frames 800 ISO - Bortle 8 .
