Description

Very different from the ones I usually see from M78.

This image contains Hydrogen Halpha, in the molecular field of Orion. M78 is a reflection nebula and therefore no broadband signal appears. So I wanted to show both parts. Halpha and LRGB

It has been a very hard process and a total of 17h of integration

Equipment:

Takahashi FSQ106 f5

Atik 460EXm

Paramount ME

Software:

RGB: 40x300 each channel

Ha: 15x900

Total exposure time: 17h
