About this image

Using image data captured between mid-October and Mid-November, this is the PacMan Nebula, NGC 281 depicted in LRGB. I used PixInsight for image processing and the Photometric Colour Calibration tool to fix the colours of the stars and, indirectly, the colour of the nebula itself.
