Description

A wonderfully clear sky also corresponded with a 75% Moon riding high in the sky! So out came the magic one shot colour TriBand filter and this 80 minute exposure (total) is the result.It's a large cloud of glowing hydrogen. Sometimes called the Pac Man nebula or NGC281. It's in the constellation of Cassiopeia and is around 10,000 light years from us.
