Description

This is my take on M78.

It took me a looooong while to actually get a presentable result with this image. I took the raw data almost 2.5 months ago back when I did not have any protection against dew for my telescope. Well long story short my telescope objective dewed up and the raw data has all kinds of problems resulting from it. In the beginning I just couldn't get a satisfactory image out of it, so I put it away for later.

Fast forward to today: I felt daunting and tried processing it again. This time I made it to a point where I'm happy with the result.
