Title Pacman nebula, NGC 281

Description NGC281 or the Pacman Nebula is a region of HII located in the Cassiopeia constellation and about 9,500 light years from us. This photo and the shots that make up its integration have been taken only with the eyes, the eyes of Carlos Espada (@carlosespadaapo) who has suffered from ALS for years, reaching the point of only being able to move that part of his body. Despite this, Carlos set out to be the first astrophotographer with ALS and in 2017 he bought a telescope and began studying. Today he manages NINA and the capture programs with his eyes. Without a doubt a case of exceptional improvement that we should all learn from. For this project it has been my honor to be able to help you process the image of this nebula using your data. All my recognition, congratulations and gratitude. Thank you very much Carlos for this honor you have granted me. 🙏
