NGC 281 (Pacman nebula) in RGB and SHO.

A SkyWatcher Esprit 80 ED triplet refractor fitted with a field flattener was used to capture 90 minutes of RGB 5 minute subs and 80 minutes of SHO 5 minute subs using an ASI 533MM pro camera and mono filter wheel set. The RGB data were integrated and processed in Pixinsight and the SHO data set were integrated in DSS and processed in Pixinsight/Cosmic Clarity/Graxpert Denoise and Adobe Photoshop 2024. NGC 281 (Pacman nebula) is an emission nebula in the constellation of Cassiopeia in the vicinity of open star cluster IC1590 and lies around 6.500 LY away from Earth.
