Pacman nebula ngc281

[andyo]

I took this over two nights on the 9th and 10th of December,a few frames each night as the clouds kept rolling in.

I used the SWED80 with focal reducer,camera was canon 450modded (filter removed).The artefact on the left came from the flats couldnt get rid of it so evetually resorted to the clone tool

Lights 27 x 200secs

darks x 29

flats x 35

All comments welcome

That's come out rather well - nice colour and a super wide field.

In fact it took me a second or two to find the artefact you mentioned as it was lost in the expanse...

I suppose we should be grateful for the clear spells, even those captured between clouds...!

Any chance of a link to a hi-res version or perhaps a crop of the centre...?

Clear skies.
