Description

3 for the price of 1! This image has been gathering dust (ha!) for a while so I thought I should finish it off.
NGC281 the Pacman nebula in 3 different presentations - in the traditional SHO Hubble palette with the green left in and then a quick application of SCNR in PixInsight and you have the popular blue/gold version. Incidentally there is an Indian restaurant in town that has this exact same blue/gold decor - maybe it'll catch on 
Lastly I'm not usually a fan of starless images but I thought one pretty enough to include.
