Description

The Pacman Nebula, NGC 281, IC 11 or Sh2-184,  captured on an OSC using two dual-narrowband filters to produce an SHO rendition.   Stars were captured in wideband using an L-Pro filter for a stack of short exposures.  As an experiment, I captured the stars at gain 0, rather than my usual gain 100 setting, but I can't say I can find any noticeable difference in the result.
