Description

M78: Casper the friendly ghost

I found this very difficult to process. I think I am just a little short on exposure, which makes the stretching very difficult. Still working on the Messier list.

Description: More data but this is still a very difficult object to process. The dark nebula is much darker than the sky, and there is structure all the way to the limits of the data.

Description: Still working on this. Better, but maybe a bit too blue.

One tip to pass on: If you are having Amp glow problems with PixInsight, do not use optimized dark frames!
