PacMan Nebula (NGC 281) in Cassiopeia

El Cerrito, CA

Twenty-two 6-minute sub-exposures (132 minutes total), SXV H9 w/13nm HA filter,
guided by SBIG STV w/Efinder. DDP and Median Combined in MaximDL, levels & curves
in Photoshop. FWHM around 1.9 - 2.0 for focus star.

Minimal processing thus far. I need to bring out more nebulosity, but
first will create separate star layer to avoid blowing out field stars.

SXV-H9/H9C,AP 130 f/4.5

other sizes: small medium large original auto
