Last night I shot the Iris Reflection Nebula () from the backyard. It is a star shinning through stellar dust. It come out quite crisp!

OK, let's test this with an post.

This is my current : the Iris Nebula in Cepheus. So far, I've combined nearly 12 hours of 5 minute exposures to star revealing not just the beautiful reflection nebula in the center (dust reflects light from a relatively hot star), but the dark clouds of interstellar dust and cold molecular hydrogen.

I hope to push this past 20 hours of imaging over May and June.
