Description

The Pacman nebula is a fantastic object in Cassiopeia. I first thought that this is a relatively easy object as there is fairly strong signal in Ha and O3, a little less for S2. However, merging of the three narrow bands was not as straight forward as I thought. The standard SHO combination did not please me. In the end, I used a mix of Ha and S2 for R, a mix of Ha and O3 for G, whereas B is pure O3. RGB stars were added afterwards.

Many of you are expert image processors - if you feel that I can improve, please let me know. Any hints and tips are highly appreciated.

Bye

Volker
