The eye of the Pacman, NGC281 and the Bok Globules

[petershah]

I have been busy setting up and testing this scope I did a complete strip down and rebuild of the 16in ODK spending a lot of time spacing and collimating the optics.
It is also the first image from the new Player One Poseidon mono camera, I am going to have a lot of fun with this scope. I imaged this remotely from Spain.
NGC281 showing the Bok Globules in the Pacman Nebula in S2, Ha, and O3, all 60s exposures 120x60s in Ha and O3, 350x 60s in S2.
Processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop.

Thanks for looking

Beautiful image Peter,
it's one of the best I can find.
Glad to see you've got your Dall-Kirkham ODK16 sorted out
and the new camera is great.

cheers

Thank you Alan, most you see of 281 are pretty wide field. The seeing in Spain recently has been really nice so helped massively.

Thank you

Narrow field work is really engaging when done this well.
Nice one :thumbsup:

Thank you Peter, I have really been enjoying it recently. Im building a 20in at the moment.... it will be going to Chile all being well, the seeing there is amazing.
