M78 from SRO

I haven't had much processing time lately, but here's my first attempt at M78 from the scope I share at SRO in California (where the weather is currently awful too!)

Data captured at SRO, Dec 2014/Jan 2015

Objects in image:
M78, NGC 2064, NGC 2067, NGC 2068, NGC 2071, about 45 T Tauri variable stars and 17 HH objects

Scope: FSQ-106ED
Mount: Paramount ME
Camera: QSI683
Filters: Astrodon Gen II LRGB
Guiding: QSI OAG + Lodestar
Image scale: 2.094 arcsec/pixel (drizzle x 2)
Exposures: 39x900s L, 16x900s R, 13x900s G, 16x900s B (21 hours)
Processing: PixInsight 1.8

High res version here: http://www.astrobin.com/160298/

This object is a bugger to process. Constructive comment is welcomed

Cheers,
Rick.
