NGC 281 (Pacman nebula) in Ha

[Epicycle]

Hi,

this is the time of year when we have to start fighting dew... Anyway after throwing some subs away I managed

14x20m on the Pacman last night.

Details:

-Megrez 72@4.8+ SXVR-H9

-Heq5 and Baader 7nm Ha filter

-Nebulosity for capture, EqMac for driving the mount and Pixinsight for processing.

I'm hoping this time I was more gentle with noise reduction, the goal of the processing was to expose also the

outer nebulosity (the area around the nebula is surprisingly dark!).  The weather gurus promise some clear skies for

tonight, so the plan is to make an HaRGB image, hopefully with one hour on each RGB channel,

Thanks for looking! Comments/suggestions welcome as ever,

cheers

I've now added some RGB to the Ha. It's 12x5m on each channel. Comments and suggestions welcome as this is my first more or less serious attempt

at HaRGB combination with the H9,

Thanks for looking,

E.
