Description

This is the well-know Pacman Nebula located about 4'100 ly. in the constellation Cassiopeia. I was very excited while planning to shot this target and needed two nights to complete it. First night, I didn't set the gain of the 183MC high enough and during the second night, the autoguider just passed away, allowing only 60s exposure unguided… Well, AP is always challenging but so funny ;-)

Thanks for looking at my new image and do not hesitate to comment it ;-)

Clear skies to you folks.

Description: As Niall suggested, I've moved the black point to darken the background. Looks also better to my eyes now :-) Thanks for that, Niall ;-)
