Description

This is a new version of M78, Casper the Friendly Ghost, captured with the ZWO ASI 6200MC camera mounted to a 160mm APO refractor with field flattener.   There are 57 frames culled from an original 93 five minute frames that were captured on various dates in my backyard August through October of 2022.   Processing was conventional and the colorful results following application of dynamic background extraction were not significantly altered in the remainder of the image processing.   Noise was controlled during the processing by using the NoiseXTerminator process in  both the linear and non-linear states of the image.
