Description

Here's my attempt on NGC 281. I loved Marcel Drechsler's Pacman so much I thought I try the same color style and see what I can get out of my 'slow' f/4 with only 8" from my light polluted backyard. It is also only half the exposure time of Marcel's Pacman but my good old M31 Project only allowed to image NGC 281 until Andromeda rose over 30°. It was quite a good learning and I love the color combination a lot more than the HOO or Syn Green Bicolor images. However, there is still room for improvement (other than moving to a darker site...) Let me know what you think!

Description: A smidgen easier on the colors and less red in BG. I hate to see the images in the dark on a fully lit mobile ... you always notice something crazy then...
