M78 is a perennial favourite target for many. I have always loved the multitude of colours present in the dust and gas within the region. It is without doubt one of my favourite objects to image. Being mainly a reflection nebula surrounded by hints of Ha nebulosity from the edge of Barnard's loop, it really is a special object.
A fairly short imaging run of only 15 hours but just enough to manage the noise in the image. Details of the image on the webpage.
