Here's a shot of the interior of the Pacman Nebula. I just zoomed in on the interior cause I liked the dust lanes and the Box globules. This was another SHO modified image taken with the NP127is/QHY16200A with some more HA added from the TV85/QHY9M (might as well use both scopes and the only NB filter I have on the QHY9M is 7nmHA). All the exposures were 1200s 45 combined HA, 15 OIII, and 15 SII with luminance created by SHO-AIP combining of the three masters. My modified formula is R=50%SII+50%HA, G=10%SII+15%HA+75%OIII, and B=100%OIII.
Hope ya like it!
Tom,
Nice close up. I like your composition and FOV framing.
