Description

The pacman nebula in SHO with RGB stars. This was my longest integration time on a narrowband target so far with this telescope. I didn't intend to spend 60 hours on this target but we had a string of clear nights and I didn't have many early evening targets, so figured i'd continue collecting data. 

I did a basic SHO combination to retain the classic SHO colors, and reduced the green a bit to bring out the purples. 

This was my first project using BlurX 2, and was very impressed! I used the standard settings and was surprised that it did not oversharpen or overdarken objects!
