Title: NGC 7023 Iris Nebula from Riberac and Lydd
Post by: MarkS on Aug 21, 2010, 22:49:59
I shot some more Iris data in Riberac (6 Aug) and added to the Lydd data (16 July)
See http://forum.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/index.php?topic=6343.0 for the Lydd version.

In total this is now 46 x 5 min at ISO 800.
Modified Canon 350D on Banana Scope (Tak Epsilon 180ED F2.8 ) with IR/UV filter only.

The dust clouds are looking much more defined now.
