M78 Tec180fl

3 very clear nights this weekend and good seeing on 2 of them.

M78, an interesting reflection nebula with some dust and emission nebula nearby.

TEC180mm fluorite, field flattener, Apogee U16M camera at -10C (it was a hot night), Baader LRGB filters, Tak NJP mount, Robofocus digital focuser seeing was average and improved to reasonable. Some of the subs were taken the next night under good seeing (60mins blue, 30 mins green and 10 mins red).

LRGB 60 60 60 60. From my dark site observatory in remote NSW.
