Had to contend with clouds ruining half the images, not sufficiently exposed H-a and average seeing, but here is a VERY noisey (stretched to start showing colour) M78. Another 4 clear hours worth of data would start to make me happy.
4" f/6.3 refractor, SBIG ST-8XE.
I could show you a binned image, but that's cheating and hiding. All or nothing :)
20 minutes Lum, 15 H-a (what I could salvaged from the clouded out messes), and between 18 and 20 minutes RGB - as luck had it, most of the blue got cloud obscuration or partial, green copped a bit, but red was clear - go figure!). Wish now I had just done straight Lum-Ha, and then fill in the RGB later.
