Description

Yes its the Pacman Nebula...but never liked that name.  this is a fairly tight crop as I wanted to emphasize the star forming pillars and the large dark dust lanes and Bok globules.   Bok globules are small, dense dark nebulae packed with material from which new stars are formed.

I used my trusty WO102GT and a OSC camera with the new Antila dual narrowband filter.  APP to extract the Ha and Oiii, Ha as luminance.  Color palate is a HOO variation.  Not bad from a bortle 7 backyard and full moon.
