NGC 7023 - Iris Nebula in Cepheus

Dear group,

I sat down last night to pursue an old flame, the Iris Nebula in
Cepheus. It is a rather difficult target since one bright star is
responsible for the (reflection) nebulosity in the immediate vicinity
and which makes the processing interesting. To complicate matters, the
area is generally devoid of stars which also makes guiding an
entertaining exercise as well.

Anyway, I hope you like the effort from last night taken under both
variable seeing and transparency: http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-DSO-NGC-7023.htm
.... I would like to revisit this target under better transparency and
seeing.

Anthony.

Thanks for the wonderful photos. Very stunning! I really like the NGC
6995/IC 1340.

I found one error on your page though, the link
http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-DSO-NGC-7023b.htm is not linked correctly. Error
404: File Not Found

Cheers!

Stu.

Stu,

Thanks for the kind words and oversight on my part surrounding the
missing HTML file and the higher analysis version of the Iris Nebula.
It has been fixed.
