Description

Before Christmas I was able to get out for one night at a darker desert sky location vs my suburban backyard.  I generally look for an LRGB target to image when I do.  M78 was pretty much ideally placed to image most of the night, so that is what I did.  Just a simple LRGB image of a colorful area.  I captured some Ha here in the backyard, but I liked it better with the fully natural colors from the RGB and SPCC.

Title: M78 Region with Ha added to LRGB

Description: Since I first published this image, I have processed many other images and learned how to use Continuum subtraction better to add narrowband to LRGB. I like how the Ha added a lot more background to the image, while still keeping the brights under control and the slightly wine color versus a primary red like so often happens with Ha.
