Description

The Pacman Nebula.  An interesting nebula containing Bok Globules, an open cluster and a multiple star system.  I shot this nebula over several nights with average seeing/transparency conditions.  Ha - 62 subs; OIII - 57; SII - 60 @ 300 seconds at -15C in Bortle 4 skies.   Gain/offset at 27/10 with the QHY600M.  

Ron Brecher provided valuable tutoring this summer when I first started using PI.  This is my second image using PI without Ron's assistance.  I'm getting a little more comfortable using this software with tons more to learn.
