Description

This is a Hubble pallet version (SHO) of NGC 281, The Pacman Nebula. It's about 1 hour of data from Ha, 2 hours from O3, and 2.5 hours from S2.

I kept working on this for about a week because I was never happy with the look of the stars in the image. I finally found a video from Adam Block that describes a de-emphasis technique in Pixinsight (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DdSDoJfjM4) which worked really well.
