NGC 281 - Pacman Nebula
Various processing issues in the first version of this image, which have been for the most part resolved. I used the same colour combination as before, but this time used the Ha frame as a luminance layer to reduce the stars and boost saturation without chrominance noise. The result is much more colour, better stars and no halos.
8 hours of exposure with an Altair Astro 6" RC, Atiik 314l+, Astrodon Ha & OIII filters. Processed in Pixinsight and CS5.
