Description

The pacman nebula is another image I took last summer.

I shot this image on the same night as the eagle nebula after that one had disappeared below the horizon in the west. As NGC 281 was standing in the eastern part of the sky that night it was much darker there.

I contrast to my image of M16, I didn't mix in UHC-shots so it looks more blue-ish on my unmodified camera.
