Sterrenland Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I only learned about M78 after seeing some pics on the net recently...I loved the contrast between the red and blue areas of nebulosity/star formation. Despite the moon starting to rise higher in the sky I thought I'd give M78 a go...I wasn't too fond of the gusty wind and the temperature hovering around freezing, but am pleased I managed to capture something. The weather having been what it is this year it's been a case of trying to get outside whenever there's a hint of clear sky. Even using the Asiair Pro in the warmth of my kitchen, I still end up having to go out into the cold for focussing, etc. In the end I managed about 1.5 hours of 2 minutes exposures. Brrrrrrr! I found this one a bit of a challenge to process what with trying to keep the clouds of dust/nebulosity and differentiating between the reds and blues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonyme Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Nice image in difficult conditions. It's not one I've seen very often. Gary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterrenland Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 Had a bit of a re-process...as one does! Wasn't happy with the yellow-green tinge in places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
