Last clear thursdaynight I shot this picture of NGC281 in Casiopeia, also known as the "Pac-man" nebula. This picture was shot with my 200mmF5 Newtonian reflector fitted with an Artemis cooled CCD in its primary focus. This is a combination of 3 1200s exposures.
The nebula is lit up by a bright young multiple star in its center, HD5005. Over the nebula lies a dark lane of dust which gives the nebula its "Pac-man" appearance.
