Pacman Nebula
The “Pacman Nebula” is about 9,500 lightyears away from Earth spanning about 48 lightyears across. Its light is made primarily by emissions from ionized Hydrogen, Oxygen and Sulfur.
Its size and emissions are why I chose Pacman as my first target using the L-Ultimate filter with my OSC, and after months of practice I decided to revisit this data and track my progress. I'm much more proud of this version! Hard work pays off.
