Illuminated dust - M78

Been a long while since I got any imaging time - there's been no clear nights in Sydney while I've been free to image, and a few other distractions. But a trip down the South Coast over the long weekend offered a chance!

Here's my M78, and only the second time I've managed LRGB with the new CCD camera. I'm hoping the colour calibration worked - LRGB with Kayron Mercieca's guide was a good help, but I'm pretty new to it. I'm conscious the stars are pretty ordinary, with a mix of windy guiding, seeing and one or two optical issues on the first night. But the dark skies and the CCD are a very fun mix .

Comments and criticisms welcome

2 hours luminance and an hour of RGB, a larger view is here
