Description

Capturing this Nebula from my Bortle 7/8 backyard was quite a challenge.  Definitely not the best image I've seen of M78 but not the worst either.  The found myself processing this image several times before deciding that concluding that enough data had been collected.  This is the results of almost 2 weeks of data acquisition and about 20 hours of data.  Honestly, it could probably use a little more data to bring out some additional detail.
