Description

I acquired this data in October and November of 2021 from from scope at PixelSkies in southern Spain. I am pleased with this image but look forward to capturing it in SHO sometime. I really like the narrow band images of the Pacman that have been posted in Astrobin. I didnt do anyting particularly special when processing this in Pixinsight - I use a woekflow that I learned from Ron Brecher of Masters of Pixinsight. My approach includes considerable concentration on the starless image using Starnet2 and I did dim down the stars a little bit with HT. It of course benefits greatly from Ha which I combine with the LRGB image using pixel math.
