Description

NGC 281 / Pacman Nebula

I've been sat on this data for a little while, I had a go at processing back at Christmas but never finished - now that the target is well and truely out of reach for the year I decided to get this finished off and uploaded. The gap in data acquisition was due to a trip down to New Zealand for a few weeks, managed a bit of visual astronomy but no imaging unforunately!

Nothing particularly special about the processing, I followed a very similar approach to my image of the Tulip Nebula - SHO ForaxX palette with RGB stars.

Biggest take away from this image is probably the struggle I've been having to get clean RGB stars without destroying star cores, especially now I'm using the Starizona Nexus I'm having to use very short exposures to not clip.
