Description

Pacman in SHO with RGB stars
RGB :12x12x12 x1mn
SHO : 24x48x24 x5mn

At least an acquisition after a long period without being able to get something !

I had imaged this target last year, soon after I received my Lacerta 200/800. At that time I was struggling with colimation, my coma corrector and tilt on my sensor.
One year after, I think I have eventually understood how to manage this tryptich Primary axis / Coma correcytor axix / sensor tilt. It is never to late ;-)

A better understanding of the processing also, I tried to be balanced with  sharpening, you can do very far with this nebula, I tried also to use various hue in the SHO combination : magenta / bleu / cyan / yellow / orange

I will always learn but after 1 year, I am happy of this kind of milestone in my neverending-learning-curve ;-)
