Description

Traditional Hubble Palette narrowband combinations map Sulfur to Red, Hydrogen to Green and Oxygen to Blue. For this narrowband image of the Pac-man Nebula, I used Foraxx's dynamic combination which blends the channels in different ways to get the resulting image. The link to the article I followed to make this image is here:

NGC 281, IC 11 or Sh2-184 is a bright emission nebula and part of an H II region in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia and is part of the Milky Way's Perseus Spiral Arm. The nebula is approximately 9200 light years from earth. NGC 281 is also known as the Pacman Nebula for its resemblance to the video game character.
