The Pacman Nebula

My latest image of the 'Pacman Nebula' was taken this fall using my most-used astro-camera of 2024 from my light-polluted backyard.

 

I used a dual-narrowband filter to isolate this dynamic nebula from a washed-out city sky (Bortle 6).

 

While I shoot mono often, I've really been enjoying this color camera/filter combo lately.

 

There is still plenty of time to capture this nebula in the northern constellation Cassiopeia this month - if you need to take a break from Orion! 😆
