Description

The Pacman Nebula (NGC 281) is a bright emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia and it takes me back to high school days and quarter arcades.  This target has strong Ha, Oiii and Sii  signals which made it a pleasure to shoot and process.  Image processed in Pixinsight and RGB stars were added.

Thanks for looking!
