Description

Here is the Pacman Nebula with my RGB data already posted here but now with a bit of POSS2 red data added as luminosity to the central parts of the nebula. POSS2 is a 1990ies sky survey based on monochrome glass plate images (red or blue filtered) taken with a 1.2-m Schmidt camera at the Mt. Palomar Observatory.
