Description

Here's my first ever version of the Pac-Man nebula!

4.5 hrs total integration.

This was a real challenge to process and actually my 7th attempt. I had all kinds of crazy gradient and chrominance issues with the background. Also the angle of the images taken over 2 nights was about 40 degrees off, so I lost a bit of background.

Overall I wish there was more detail, especially in the strike through the middle but for 4.5 hrs of data I'm ok with it. Definitely not done with this target though ... until next time!
