Description

Starving for clear skies for nearly 2 months I managed 4.5 hrs of good R,G,B data on M78 but no Luminance. Well short of my goal of 15-20 hrs I decided to have some fun over stretching the colors and remapping the background. The technicolor result is an artistic representation.

Red: 45x120s

Green: 45x120s
