Iris and a Whale
Finally had a couple nights with average seeing and transparency, a rare occurrence this year. Managed to get 2.77 hours of data o both the Iris Nebula (NGC7023 and the Whale Nebula (NGC4631). I used a ASI533MC Pro and the 8" SkyWatcher Quattro. I had a Optolong L-eNhance filter in the imaging train. For a test I bumped my Exposure time to 400 seconds/shot at Unity.
Images were stacked inAPP (which did a good job on the "Elon Trails") and process lightly in PixInSight.

Re: Iris and a Whale
Beautiful images. They both have a bit of a green cast though you may want to take care of. The galaxy more so than the nebula.

Re: Iris and a Whale
Both images are great. I like the dust in the Iris.
I agree with AstroBee, there seems to be a green bias in the images - more so in the Whale image background.
