first observing nights

First clear night. We obtained 10h R total exposure time for NGC 281 (Pacman Nebula). Very slight debluring postprocessing in PixInsight revealed this image.

Second night only one hour of clear sky produced this 1h snapshot of SH2-112. It is small and bright nebula close to Deneb.
