Description

NGC 281, also known as the Pacman Nebula, is a bright emission nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. It’s distance from Earth is about 9200ly with an approximate diameter of 96ly.

The fairly short exposure times of the subs is due to me still lacking a guiding setup. The color scheme is based on the Foraxx palette.
