The Iris Nebula taken with my 1300D DSLR Canon camera mounted on a 80ED Skywatcher refractor telescope with a field flattener. The telescope was mounted on my EQ5 GOTO mount. My settings were 50s exposure and 1800ISO. 218 images were captured, 30 flat frames and 25 dark frames. All were stacked in Sequator, processed in GraXpert and StarNet ++ and finished off in Gimp 2.10. I used an intervalometer to control the camera and a Bahtinov mask to focus on a bright star.
