NGC 7023, the Iris Nebula in Cepheus, shot at prime focus with the 130mm f/6 Astro-Physics refractor with 6x7 field flattener and Canon 7D camera at ISO 800 for a stack of 4 x 8 minute exposures Mean combined. Shot at the Saskatchewan Summer Star Party, Aug 17, 2012. On mach 1 mount and guided with SBIG SG-4 autoguider. A fairly noisy image with all the boosting of the faint nebula detail, the relatively noisy 7D camera and only 4 sub-frames to stack.
