Again, two months to gather enough photons for this image. The bulk of the exposures were taken during a spell of five clear, cold nights in Feb 2021, though. The emission nebula IC 410 also includes the open cluster NGC 1893.

A new approach to the Pacman Nebula with the L-eNhance filter and bicolor processing. No so much for clear skies in the winter season here, took over two months to gather some meagre 10 hours of exposure time.
See also Astrobin for all details.

Genau, in Erinnerungen schwelgen. ;-) Daher habe ich eine Auswahl von Deep Sky Aufnahmen aus den Jahren 2017-2020 als Video zusammengebaut. Da seinerzeit superproduktiv, dominieren die Hakos-Aufnahmen von 2019. Enjoy!
