Description

Who knew the Pacman Nebula was so dramatic! Definitely explore the zoomed in version - so many great nooks and crannies in there...

I haven't captured this object in years and I can certainly tell the difference. Previous versions I captured didn't have the 3d structures that you see in other objects like the Eagle Nebula. Love to see the definition around the Bok Globules too. Glad it turned out decently after spending so much time on it!

Imaged over 14 nights in September, October and November 2021.
