Heres my effort at M78 taken from a Bortle 3 location in the Blue Mountains. Total of 4 hours dataset of 5 min subs. First time I've risked the weather going up there in 2024. Also first time taken my Askar103apo away from home with the AM5 and luckily it packs up easily in the dark: I was just starting to enjoy myself when some scumbag in a (presumably stolen) car came out of nowhere at 2am and drove aggressively at my parked car, narrowly missing, then repeated the stunt 25 mins later- this time getting even closer, throwing up a big dust cloud as it skidded around. Thankfully a last minute decision to put the tripod on the other side of the car (in the wind but with it seemingly calming down) probably saved my gear. I stayed 10 mins longer to get to the 4 hour mark and then left.
Anyway hopefully it was worth it!
It is
