Iris Nebula in Cepheus Constellation, finally a good one (for me)

Iris Nebula in Cepheus, dark parts are nebula with no reflection
1300 light years away, beautiful blue that rivals Pleiades, but much smaller
After months (starting in April) I finally have my new rig working. They say there are always lots of failures in Astrophotography. It has been non stop for me, but last night, like two previous nights, I just went outside, setup and took pics. Getting pics like this makes it all worth it. An 8" SCT at 2000mm would get an even better pic, but this exciting to get with a small format camera and a 600mm telescope. Space is so cool!
