Description

As I prepare to hopefully get clear skies during a new moon to finish a palette of NGC 281, affectionally known as the Pacman nebula, I found it interesting to zoom in a bit on this unusual but lovely DSO.  Captured in Ha, this star-forming DSO displays many unique features such as sculpted columns and dense dust globules.
