Iris with AP 130 F8.35

Hi all, just got back from vacation - had three clear nights over two weeks... oh well. Here is my first run through of the data I collected on NGC 7023. AP 130 F8.35, ST-10, G11-Ovision. LRGB 300:30:30:30 (RGB binned 2x2). I've collected another 90 min through each color filter as well, but haven't included it yet. The seeing was pretty good for a change during my luminance capture. Let me know what you think, comments and suggestions are appreciated.

cheers,

Jeff

I think the clouds and dust look great, but the stars are a little washed out or too uniform in color. That might get fixed if you add the other RGB, but it could be that the subs are too long? (I wish I had had three clear nights in the last two weeks. This week is looking more promising though.)

Excellent start for sure.

Rolando

Lots of detail in the central part of the nebula. Very nice.

Peter

Very beautiful image. The extra colour exposure time will only improve it even more.
