Description

M78 is the brightest diffuse reflection in the night sky and looks great when photographed with a telescope, but can also be captured wide-field using a camera and lens. This picture was taken under B2 skies using the RASA f/2 and no filters. 27 hours total. I'm a bit obsessed with revealing all the dust in images right now so I might reprocess this later without caring too much about the dust as it definitely does overwhelm the image overall.
