Description

The Pacman Nebula (NGC 281) is a bright HII emission region in the  constellation Cassiopeia. The object is bright in the red channel and H narrow band filter. Source images were captured during few clear sky night in December 2022 in my backyard. I have used red, green, blue and Ha filters. Images were processed in Pixinsight and colour balance using SpectrophotometricColorCalibration.

Thanks for looking, comments are welcome.
