Description

This is an image of M78 a diffuse nebula that belongs to the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex that is about 1,600 light years from Earth. The two stars HD 38563A and HD 385663B, are responsible for creating the dust reflecting their light.

This is my first image from the large CDK 700 Planewave telescope that I had control with from Austrailia at a remote sight Sliding Springs.

The image is from 1 set of LRGB with L at 600 seconds RGB 300 seconds all unguided. Total image time was 25 minutes.
