M78 150mm widefield

[multiweb]

Here's another one from the night I shot the comet lovejoy. M78 with a SMC Pentax 150mm and a QHY9 - This one is a stack of 20x5min - LUM filter.

Much bigger version here (https://public-dm2305.files.1drv.com/y2pjb-Af8AP2RhcTcYU7bXA1b3FrnvD2HCqb9XJX7 9XBmeArQ1lRIEaln50fyp8Rky0EqC4PrETM VceduwfUtSQObqHdqxzGgAX_HrerLDqavM/M78_150mm_ff.jpg?psid=1). :thumbsup:

Nice wide view, Marc!

Sharp and clean. Pardon my ignorance but is it part of Barnard's Loop running through the bottom left?

Hi Marc,

A very good wide photo.

Love the detail.

The 150mm lens has a nice FOV.

Thanks guys. That was piggy backed on the scope while I was imaging at long FL as well.



Thanks Mike. Yes it is the northern part of the barnard loop and some other diffuse nebula at the bottom and bottom left.
