Description

Pacman is an emblematic deep sky object in Cassiopeia constellation. It is a big and relativly bright emission nebula with the dark bok-globula NGC 281 and IC 1591 open cluster in it's center. The dark outer fields of dust is also interesting and a "hard to capture" target. The rich star field makes a bit difficult to process the faint details in this image. Because of this I used some UHC filtered data as well.
