Description

NGC 281, a.k.a. the Pacman Nebula, sits in the Constellation Cassiopeia, and is a popular target during winter in the northern hemisphere. Ample time was given on the narrowband data collection on this target to boost up the structure within the nebula, as well as to achieve a unique (weird?) color scheme. A particular focus was directed towards highlighting the intricate, dusty cloud enveloping NGC 281, emphasizing its role in the stellar formation process.
