Pacman Nebula 14/8/21

It's going to be clear all night they said. As soon as I'd set up and taken a couple of shots out came the clouds! Grrrrrrrr! By midnight I was debating going back in, but thought I'd wait another half hour...and then the clouds suddenly disappeared. After 7 hours of getting the pics I got to bed. The seeing wasn't brilliant, but regularly managed 0.9 guiding which wasn't too bad I suppose.

nice detail in the core there. I've not tried that target yet. I see it's got its own little 'piilars of creation' at the bottom.

Yes, I love the little details like those pillars...they're not brilliant shots, but it just blows me away that I can capture these from my back garden and see such detail. Makes the lack of sleep worth it!

Nice work....I like the first rendition
