NGC7023, The Iris Nebula was created by phoenix
1 hour 30 minutes luminance binned 1x1, 1 hour each RGB binned 2x2. All 10 minute sub frames collected over two nights.

Could have gotten all in one night but rain hit the open observatory while I was inside the house. Took 1 hour to dry off the scope and 8 hours with the dehumidifier to dry the inside of the shed.

Kieran,

This particular target is much more difficult than people realize due to the bright star right smack in the middle of the reflection nebulosity.

Nice result!
