Pacman Nebula (NGC281, Narrowband, HOO)

NGC 281 is a bright emission nebula in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia and is part of the Milky Way's Perseus Spiral Arm.

 

I imaged this target before with my FLT91 and wanted to revisit it with the FLT132 to get more detail. I used a combination of the Antlia ALP-T 5nm and Optolong L-Ultimate 3nm dualband filters. I managed to get almost 20 hours integration time over 5 nights, so I'm happy with the result.

 

I used my William Optics FLT132 with FLAT8 0.72x reducer/flattener. ZWO 2600MC Pro colour camera, Antlia ALP-T 5nm Ha & Oiii and Optolong L-Ultimate 3nm Ha & Oiii filters.

ZWO AM5 mount and ZWO ASIAir Plus to control everything.

 

Pre and post-processed in PixInsight and Affinity Photo 2.

 

Integration time: 19 hours + 15 minutes.
