Description

Pacman Nebula NGC281 

The Pacman Nebula is very luminous nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia at a distance of 4100 light years. Prominent dark nebulae and Bok globules cross the nebula, which gives it a very interesting character. The photo was developed as RGBHOO.

The image was also a balancing test of my EQM-35. The imaging equipment in this case had a weight of 7.5kg and yet the guiding was accurate below RMS 0.5 arcsec. 

A great shooting session with a great result.
