That's one fantastic image, Weixing! Looks so life-like, can see depth to the nebula.

You must show me how it's done step-by-step! Can I pop by your place one day?

What is IRIS? Not heard of it before.

Keep up the good work...

I'm also new to the software, now only know how to perform star alignment and basic stack... will explore more of it rich features when got more time.

Congratulation on this terrific shot! Hope to see more of your works in the future.

Thanks. I still got lots to learn for you...

Have a nice day.
