Iris nebula (NGC 7023)
From the most favorite subjects for amateur astrophotography. 1300 light years from us in the constellation Cepheus. Nebula reflection (blue color) around the main responsible young star (SAO 19158) spread over an area of diameter from 6 light light. The brown color around the central nebula, but also scattered around the whole, ought to converting of ultraviolet radiation into red from the existing dust (photoluminance). Dark nebulae are completing this subject.

During my involvement in photographing the "deep sky" I missed the accompaniment of music, as my musical experience guides me. So I decided to fill my astrophotos with my music. From September 2016 as a starting point, therefore, together with the Flaming Star Nebula, I present to You, the ‘Floydish Pulsar I’, as my first musical composition (composition, performance and production by me), always inspired by these images.
Parallel Words ! and Dancing Stars I, complete my first trilogy.
Emjoy !
