NGC 7023
The Iris Nebula, in the constellation of Cepheus, is a reflection nebula that surrounds open cluster NGC 7023.

The nebula is a complex mixture of reflection, emission and dark nebulosity surrounding a 7.4 magnitude star that illuminates the reflection nebula. The star, HD 200775, is a Herbig Be star that is a pre-main sequence star with a mass between 3 and 15 solar masses. The star is only 5,000 years old.

I am still working on this object to capture more data...
