Thank you Werner, the exposure time really helps for this target as it is quite faint.

Thanks a lot Marcus, I'm glad you liked the colours. Most renditions I've seen actually tend to be mostly blue with hardly any reds showing, but I believe there is quite a lot of reddish hues in the area due to the dust. It certainly was prominent right out of the camera.

I want to try it, it's just one that get's frustrating
Thanks Lewis, good luck with your attempts - it's a beautiful target but needs quite a lot of exposure

Thank you Greg, indeed it does There is so much going on around M78, it's an interesting nebula for sure.

You have very nice detail showing with excellent colours and a more appealing field of view than I got. Some minor noise present (understandable given the dimness of te dark dust) and what looks like some tilt on the right hand side. A selective mask to control both with make for a absolutely superb image.

All that said, I really like this image and it looks very similar to Martin Pugh's fine image. Lovely work Rolf and nice to see your work again.
Thanks very much Paul. I actually hink the scope has come slightly out of collimation due to some testing and accudental bumping I did recently while measuring up for my upcoming new 12.5 inch scope. I re-collimated it just the other night, but unfortunately too late for the stash of data taken during Dec-Jan

Thank you Mike, glad you liked the colours. As mentioned to Paul I re-collimated the scope recently, hopefully that should put things right again.

Thanks Al, yes it's not an easy one because it's rather faint.

Hello Rolfe,

Out of your recent images, I really like this one of M78. The object being faint makes it more difficult, and I too like your colour scheme - very nice.

Regards,

Steve
