The Iris Nebula

NGC 7023 - The Iris Nebula
The Iris Nebula (NGC 7023) is a prime example of how beautiful reflection nebulae can be.  I was only able to capture a little over an hour of exposures on this one, and you can just start to see the dark clouds showing up.  Hopefully I will get some more time on this object this Friday, if the weather clears up.
