NGC 7023 - Iris Nebula in Cepheus

Hehe Seanie is off the hook!!

Anthony, I think I'll just have to keep a file open with text something like "Another magnificent piece of work Anthony". That'll save me having to type it each time you produce another collossal image.

You realise you now have more 'stunners' on the books than most modelling agencies

Congrats on this fine work.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and feedback. I sat down last night to image NGC 6974 - the Fireworks Galaxy - but local celebrations due to a religious holiday made things difficult.

Things settled down after midnight and at which point I pursued M52 in Cas. I will sit down for the processing right now and I will have a follow (new) thread in a couple of hours.

I will send my last three images (Iris, Cocoon and Crescent) to the various magazines this evening including Astronomy&Space in Ireland.

Anthony - still seeing what looks like a lot of hot pixels. Predominantly to the top edge in this image.

Also, this might be my monitor I guess, but I see a lot of small dark "streaks" to the right of the image.

I'm using LCD monitors now so that might be causing me to see things I didn't see before. I noticed that some of my old images look awful on the new monitors...
