Description

NGC 281 - PacMan in Hubble Palette

Finishing up the 2021 mid-season objects with a new PacMan nebula. Once again the PixInsight Starnet process was used to to create a starless master frame for color processing. Then the Ha master was sharpened with processes such as Deconvolution, UnsharpMask and Morphological Transformation to make a detailed luminance layer to overlay on top. I may try StarXTerminator for future nebula processing to find if that route is better than the StarNet procedure with regard bight star artifacts after star removal.
