Description

NGC 281, the PacMan Nebula.  This was imaged over 4 nights from September 30th - October 3rd from my driveway in a bortle 4.5 area.

The final image consists of 36 x 10 minutes of Ha, 43 x 10 minutes of O3, and 50 x 10 minutes of S2.  Total Integration of 21 hours, 30 minutes.

Taken at Gain 111, offset 10.

While processing, I liked the look of the nebulae surrounding PacMan, so I tried to highlight it some.
