NGC 281, Pacman Nebula & Meteor
​
Equipment used: Canon t7i (unmodified), Askar FRA300 PRO, Star Adventurer GTI, ASIAIR mini & ZW0 30mm guidescope
Acquisition time: 63x180sec lights, 20x180sec darks, 20 flats and bias frames, Bortle 4 skies
I was lucky enough to capture one of the coolest shots I've taken so far. This is the Pacman with a single frame where I happened to capture a meteor passing close by the nebula. The meteor frame was stacked and edited separately and then composited over the final image of the Pacman nebula. Meteor frame was enhanced in luminance and saturation to help stand out.
Frames stacked and processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop. Applied Auto DBE, color corrected with SPCC, DeepSNR, stars removed with StarXTerminator, stretched with MAS on the starless and starmask separately, HDR multiscale with masking then touched up with curves adjustments. The meteor frame was stacked and edited separately and then composited over the final image in photoshop where finishing touches were done.
Clear skies!
