Hi Paul, great effort, lots of patience in that image!
I am interested in the details at either side of the image. Usually when one visually observes M78, the two brightest patches are evident, but under particularly dark and still conditions at Coonabarabran the year before last, I recall seeing a third area of brightness. I suspect it may have been the starlight peeking through the dark cloud at far right of the image, but it may have been the lit-up patch at far left. I will keep this image in mind the next time I get under dark skies with M78, and try to get to the bottom of it!
