Description

Also from a very productive week, here is NGC281, the Pacman nebula. This is also a target I tried last fall and have been waiting for a year to improve upon. Some intermittent clouds during the night ruined a few of the frames, but I got 34 out of 54 usable frames, so it was enough for a descent image. Processing this one was probably the easiest I have had - basically this is just a stack using the default settings in APP, a little stretching, and just a little noise removal.
