Description

My first image of the Pacman Nebula! Pretty neat object, but would love to get some more data on this one, especially at a longer focal length.

Title: NGC 281 - Pacman Nebula (more data added)

Description: Added another 3 hours of data to the pacman nebula. 1.5 hours with UV/IR Cut and 1.5 hours of Antlia Triband, in addition to my original almost 3 hours with UV/IR Cut. Soon I plan to post a comparison image showing the difference with 1.5 hours UV/IR vs 1.5 hours Antlia Triband from a Bortle 5 zone. I can certainly see there more depth to the nebula itself, and some additional bits of nebulosity around it also appeared with the additional data.
