We present 0.35-2.5 ЮМm spectra of the south and northwest filaments in the reflection nebula NGC 7023. ... Our spectra fail to show their predicted second emission band at 1.0 ЮМm even though both filaments exhibit strong emission in the familiar 0.7 ЮМm ERE band. The northwest filament spectrum does show one, and possibly two, new dust emission features in the near-infrared. We clearly detect a strong emission band at 1.5 ЮМm which we tentatively attribute to ЮВ-FeSi2 grains. ...

... In addition to the Armagh Observatory's primary role to undertake original research of a world-class academic standard that broadens and expands our understanding of astronomy and related sciences, the Observatory also has an important responsibility to maintain and preserve the fabric of the historic buildings and the wealth of the scientific and intellectual heritage in its care. ...
