About this image

With time on my hands this year I've worked hard learning PixInsight (PI) - it is infamously tricky to pick-up but has eventually been worth the effort. Now able to undertake the basics I'm revisiting old data to re-process with PI.

In this instance I've used the HST palette on the Pacman Nebula originally imaged in August 2019, with a successful outcome that I believe is a step-up from the original processing.

For imaging details and backgound ob this observation please refer to my blog here:
