Date: Imaged 9 May 2019 (01:57 am) and 10 May 2019 (01:29 am) br/Location: Halifax, NS br/Equipment: Orion 80mm f6 ED-triplet refractor/ ZWO ASI183MC CMOS camera with UV/IR cut and LP filters; prime focus, unguided; gain 320, 45 sec exposure/EQ6-R mount. br/Processing: 317 subs, 30 darks, and 30 flats were captured over 2 nights as RAW16/FITS images. All images were debayered with PIPP. Debayered images were saved as TIF images, which were then stacked using DeepSkyStacker without any other adjustments to the stacked image. Photoshop CS2 was used to adjust levels, curves (stretching data), and color balance/saturation, as well as for noise reduction. StarTools was used for gradient removal. Microsoft Photo was used to tweak clarity, contrast, highlights, shadows, and exposure of the final jpg image. br/Comments: Located in the constellation Cepheus, NGC 7023 is a bright reflection nebula that resembles a lovely blue iris. At the centre of NGC 7023 is an incredibly young star (V380 Cep), the light of which is reflected by surrounding dust clouds.
