Description

12 hours total of the Pac!  Pacman Nebula in HOO, went for a softer approach on this target and I really like the way it came out personally.  It could use more integration as my skies are not the greatest that's for sure.  Maybe I will add more as it's in a great position in the sky currently.  First try on the RGB stars with 2600MM.  Keep in mind it's from bortle 8 skies but I did at least get them near zenith.  I cannot wait to move somewhere dark later in life.

During post I noticed moving from one monitor to the other there was a stark difference.  The monitor I processed this on the blacks didn't look quite as dark so who knows which one is more correct.  Will have to check this out.
