NGC281 - The Pacman Nebula

[Leonardo70]

New project just finished. This is a shot of NGC281, the Pacman Nebula in the constellation of Cassiopeiae. The photo is an RGB with the addition of narrow signal with a H-Alpha 7 nm filter. I have tried to preserve the color representation to its fullest:

Looks like you have an excellent location there in the mountains and using it to its fullest!

Yeh this is excellent Leo! Lovely colourful look to it and the little details are everywhere!

I like the crops too, there is so much in an image it is great to showcase some of the details in their own right. :thumbsup:

Leo
nice image. Good star colour in this, although, there is a little ringing I can see in the crops.

Otherwise, very nice indeed.
cheers

Beautiful image, and great having the crops for showing all the various details. Those Bok globules are really nice - it really looks like they are floating in space in the middle of the nebula. Outstanding work :)

I love your images they are just superb. Rich in colour, fabulously detailed and very luminous. You've got it just right and I wouldn't change a thing.
