m78 and Barnard's Loop

[alacant]

Hi everyone

Did 2 hours on this, but nada. Added another 2 and detail is starting to show. Gave up last year at 6 hours and diminishing returns. I concluded then that I'd reached the limit of what a dslr could do. Another 2 hours? I wonder...

Anyway, thanks for looking and do post your dslr images of the same. It would be great to compare.

Along with colour, I find this dark sort of stuff the most difficult, so all tricks and tips most gratefully received.
