La Nebulosa Iris è una nebulosa a riflessione nella costellazione di Cefeo.
Ricca di polvere interstellare scura è illuminata da una stella calda centrale chiamata SAO 19158 che è 10 volte la massa del nostro sole.Si trova a 1.300 anni luce di distanza ed è largo sei anni luce.
Iris Nebula is dramatic reflection nebula in the constellation Cepheus.
With plenty of dark interstellar dust is illuminated by a central hot star named SAO 19158 which is 10 times the mass of our sun.
It lies 1,300 light-years away and is six light-years across.
It was integrated only 15 hours, 50% best frames of the total valid frames taken between May and June of 2019.
PD: I am glad to check my improvements when I compare to this other capture from three years ago. 😀
