In the spirt of Mega-Data, well, this isn’t. I have around 3.5 hour’s data. You know the blurb, its Messier 78, a diffuse reflection nebula in the constellation of Orion at a distance of around 1600 light years from us. The dust clouds are illuminated by two stars with the wonderful names of HD 38563A and HD 38563B. The object was a little dimmer than I first thought.
Imaged on the 19th of Dec 2014 from Heathcote, Vic.
