Description

Ha only because I didn’t intend it as a target in the first place…. I was/am working on the galaxies NGC 2146 and M 74, but when I switched to Ha because of the moon, I discovered there really wasn’t much to get for 2146, and M 74 happened to be so close to the moon that even with the filter, there was a lot of glare. Even worse for the guide camera and difficult to impossible to guide much of the time. Anyhow, the Pac-Man nebula was a mostly random alternate choice for something to image until the moon was gone, though it also happened to be a target available all night long, so some actual sleep!... : )

Cheers,
Scott
