Description

NGC281. This huge cloud of gas and dust in Cassiopeia is also nown as ‘The Pac-Man Nebula’. I grabbed a total integrated exposure time of 24hrs 55mins for this one, mostly from my London back garden. The long exposure really helps get rid of the effects of the light pollution but it can only take you so far - ultimately you can’t beat a proper dark site.
