Description

An SHO image with RGB stars added, shot with the TMB130 from my Bortle 5 backyard.

I utilized Bill Blanshan's SHONormalization v.5 script to help process the SHO image. 
Also used the  SPCC, GHS, BlurX, StarX and DeNoiseAI, along with some curve work, masks, advanced sharpening and screened the RGB stars back into the SHO image.

NGC 281, the Pac-Man Nebula is an emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia about 9,500 light-years from Earth. Young star cluster IC 1590, as well as several dense, dark clouds of cosmic dust called bok globules, call the Pac-Man Nebula home.

Thanks for looking 
Clear Skies,
-Pete
