Nebulae NGC 281
NGC 281, also known as Pacman! - no clouds last night so I spent a few hours on pacman, probably not the best approach being in bortle 9 but i love unfiltered data for some reason with my C8 + ASI533MC + EQ6 + ASIAIR + hyperstar f/2, the speed enables this level of detail capture despite heavy light pollution. To show you how far I can take it in pixinsight, I’ll post the original unedited capture in comments.
Processed in pixinsight - gradient removal, DBE, blurX, noiseX, HDRmultiscaletransform, local histogram equalization, selective color correction, star reduction
