Hello,
I finished collecting the signal of the famous NGC 281, in HRGB with the DSO. All in ten hours total exposure .
The subject is arch-known, but for many of them had not yet imagine and being conducive pointing in recent months (weather permitting) I decided to do it. I have never competed in a lot known subjects, in fact, if all goes well the next one is much less.
As usual in the data links and high resolution.
Also I have taken, including a pause and another, this supernova in NGC 51.

Cheers

Fabiomax

Really nice region Fabio. I don't personally see a Pacman though.
Was it imaged low to the horizon? Looks like either atmospheric refraction or a registration issue.

Thank you cometcahcer adn Atmos!

I do not know well. I believe there is a small misalignment of the channels, which makes the stars ... maybe not homogeneous pushups or the imperfect alignment. As for the rest I pushed a little bit on the colors and the halfa and I also try to shoot some weak areas that make Pacman a little different as morphology,
Cheers
