About this image

I imaged the minor planet 7 Iris this morning as it approaches the "Stargate" asterism in the constellation of Corvus. I took 5 x 20second Luminance images and 3 x 20 second each Red, Green and Blue images. Aligned and stacked in Nebulosity 4 and processed in Photoshop CC. See the annotated adjacent negative for details.
