Description

What was supposed to be a cloudy evening turned clear, luring me out at the last minute. I opted to go for a target I hadn't ever imaged before, and given the uncertain skies (and limited views from my house) opted for the Pacman Nebula.

Given the late start and clouds that eventually rolled in, I didn't get a lot of data, but the NBZ and RASA did their job, giving me a result I'm happy with for the effort.
