NGC 281 Pacman

[goose35]

After much experimenting and learning over the last 12 month i have managed to bring it all together from set up and drift align, getting PHD 2 to keep the mount on track and stay on the graph to the processing. Only issue was as allways heavy LP in the mids, graradientXterminator used to remove.

32 x 2min subs with 16 darks and 20 each bias and flats.

Imager: Full spectrum modded EOS 1100D with Badder Neodynum and coma corrector on SW150P

Guider: ZWO ASI120MM on ST-80

Mounted on a Bresser EXOS 2

Stacked in DSS Processed in PS5 

Evrything just worked for me from start to finish for the first time. i think the drift alignment was the key as it would appear my polarscope isnt very reliable.

Well Pleased

good colour balance and superb star colour nicely captured

This is one of my favourite objects, good signal in both all three main narrowband emissions, as well as RGB, with a pleasing mix of star colours and groupings, bok globules, hydrogen pillars, you name it

Nicely done!
