I just started imaging NGC 7023 with limited time, I am sharing my progress so far and completion.  I was going to image narrowband but I changed my mind.  This is a very complicated target for me, it is so small with many small neighboring stars inside its bright nucleus.

The Iris Nebula, also NGC 7023 and Caldwell 4, is a bright reflection nebula and Caldwell object in the constellation Cepheus. NGC 7023 is actually the cluster within the nebula, LBN 487, and the nebula is lit by a magnitude +7 star, SAO 19158.[1] It shines at magnitude +6.8. It is located near the Mira-type variable star T Cephei, and near the bright magnitude +3.23 variable star Beta Cephei (Alphirk). It lies 1,300 light-years away and is six light-years across.
