Description

M78 Casper the Friendly Ghost

This really does look like a ghost when you see it visually (or through a short exposure).

I was able to get 1 good night where the seeing was not too bad. This the first one I have stacked in PixInsight instead of DeepSkyStacker. It is a lot more effort, and I made a few mistakes along the way, but the extra control is worth it.
