Description

NGC 281 is also known as the Pacman Nebula for its resemblance to the video game character.
The image was taken on several nights from my Bortle 7 Backyard Observatory!
Link for tif file provided, if you want to print high resolution. I had it printed out on 50x70 and framed! Turned out beautiful.
I hope you like it!
