M78 in Orion

[tooth_dr]

Continuing to work through my unprocessed data.  There was just 2.5 hours spent on this one, but with two scopes imaging simultaneously it gave me a usable enough 5 hours.  I've always wants to image M78 as it is an interesting object, and given the potential for some nicely resolved detail in the core of the nebula, it might be worth revisiting this for more data over the winter.

Nicely spooky, as it should be.
