Description

I decided to spend a ton of time on the Pacman Nebula to see how much faint gas I could see expelling from the object. I was not disappointed!

There is a lot of thick gas visible to the bottom left of the nebula, as well as so much HA in the background. I spent 54 hours total, 51 hours SHO and 3 hours RGB for the stars. I am very happy with the result. I had to massively crop the image due to tilt yet it still looks nice framed like this.

Tilt I know 🥲
