Description

So I had a clear but windy night last night and decided to go after a target I'd never attempted before. NGC 7023 The Iris Nebula. I had to dump 10 of my 70 images and wound up with 60 2 min subs.

Details
Explore Scientific 127 APO
Losmandy G-11
Guided by MGEN III

Pentax K-1
ISO 400
60x120s

10 Darks
0 Flats

Stacked and processed in Pixinsight and final processing in Photoshop.

I used Starnet 2 to separate the stars from the nebula and processed each separately in PI, recombined and final processing in photoshop. This was my 1st attempt to do seperate nebula and star processing.

I think the only way to improve it is more time and darker skies than my bortle 5 sky.
