gorann Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 While I am waiting for enough astrodark to make it worth while up here, I have revisited my Pacman nebula data from November last year, since I had the feeling that there were more nebulosity there to bring out. Most Pacmans I have seen posted on the web are processed quite hard and only bring out the central parts - maybe to emphasize the Pacman figure. However, I just saw a Ha image of Pacman at Astrobin that reveals a lot of surrounding Ha-nebulosity, particularly to the right of the nebula (http://www.astrobin.com/full/144610/0/). So here is my revised version showing more of that surrounding nebulosity. Below it I post my old version for comparison. Processed in PS CS5 now also using the APF-R technique (http://www.cedic.at/apfr/) to bring out more faint stuff and a round of Hi-pass filtering to bring out more structure in the nebulosity. Equipment: ES 127EDapo with a Canon 60Da on an EQ8 29 x 360 sec, so totally about 3 hours. Any comments and suggestions most welcome - I am sure it can be improved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinB Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Hate to say this Goran but I actually prefer your previous process. To my eye it looks more delicate and natural whilst still showing a lot of faint nebulosity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
