Description

When I picked up the hobby of astrophotography about 18 months ago and I started looking at objects and fields to photograph, this was one of the subjects that caught my eye. Messier 78 especially might be my favorite deep sky object. I waited until I had the right equipment to give me a good field of view before I tackled it, and I put as much time on it as the weather and my schedule allowed over the past two months. I like to think I did it justice.
