Description

Took a trip out to the Big Bend national park area of Texas and was able to shoot under some very dark skies.  This is M78 in Orion, one of my favorite full color targets.  I have 2 versions loaded here, the close in crop, which doesn't even look like a crop the seeing was so good, and the full field image which captures Barnard's loop and ton of the surrounding Hydrogen.

Title: Close Crop M78

Description: The seeing/guiding was so good this night, and the detail with this camera is so high, even the close in crop just looks like it was taken with a larger scope.
