M78 shot over London

[emyliano2000]

A target that I could never get right. I really like this year's attempt but I still feel it could use more data. Not easy, not easy at all when I have London in the direction that I'm shooting.

If I'll still be alive at the end of the year 😂, I think I will add more to it but fir the time being I'm sharing with you what I have so far. I hope you like it.

Thank you! I think the Tri-band filter helped a lot with the horrible light pollution coming from London.
