Pacman Nebula combine NGC 281

Here I have my PacMan integrations from 2022, 2023 and 2024. The nights are short so I added them all together. During the 2022 and 2023 sessions one scope was at work. During the several 2024 sessions 2 scopes were on target at the same time. I have been interested to see how more exposure allows for finer details to come forward. This fact combined with new software and more post-processing experience create an image with a much different feel than my previous stand alone efforts. I end up with about 30 hours of integration time. It would be nice if we had enough clear sky time to increase my exposure time for each target. --- Well, maybe in the next life.

This looks good - at this scale lots of detail. Toi my eye perhaps still a little noise you could go after if you are so inclined...

Great job here Andy. Nice work adding them together to get a longer integration time.
