Subject: [AZ-Observing] NGC281 - The Pacman Nebula in narrowband
Hi,
This is an image of NGC281, also known as the Pacman Nebula. It is an
emission nebula about 9,500 light years away in the constellation
Cassiopeia. It is called the Pacman Nebula because of its resemblance to the
video game character. It is associated with the open cluster IC 1590 in the
center of the image, along with several Bok globules near the center of the
image.
Comments and suggestions appreciated.
