Description

Again revisiting a target with my new setup, I re-shot NGC 281 - The Pacman Nebula. This time I was able to pull up much more detail in the fainter outreaches of the nebula.

I did have an issue, though. A reflection along the left edge of the frame forced me to crop away a significant portion of the image. Too bad, but luckily the subject was unaffected by the issue. Now I'm going outside to see where that reflection came from!!!

ps...Here is my previous attempt in case you are interested...
