Iris Nebula
The Iris Nebula! A pretty reflection nebula quite close to the north celestial pole. I have tried it before, but never has the result been satisfying.
To be frank, I think I have tried it about the same silly time of year before as well.
It’s a blue reflection nebula. Not optimal when the sky is bright from that almost-never-setting-sun.
We're just spending time under the stars. Let’s see what we make of it?
I still suffer from an annoying drift caused by miss-alignment between the main OTA and the guide scope. This limits the exposures to 120s. We’ll deal with this in the autumn.
