Iris nebula

Dug up an old one. This was shot with a Canon 6D. Only 12 hours total and dust is creeping in from everywhere )) An example of what you can achieve with an inexpensive astrophotography setup in 12 hours. Not exactly a masterpiece, of course, but the integration time is also a bit short for dust. I think it's a solid combo: Telescope or Lens: SW 130pds Camera: Canon 6D Mount: Celestron Advanced VX Accessories: MPCC (mark1) Exposure: 245 x 180" ISO/Gain: 2000
