M78 Dark Nebula in Orion

[Catanonia]

Since it is so awful outside, I have been processing some images taken in late February this year.

Here is 3 hours LRGB of the dark M78 nebula in Orion.

I really tried to get the dust clouds with this one within the processing and I think I have achieved it.

M78,... you have given me the first picture of it and it is amazing! Is it hard to find?

Easy to find; O'Meara reckons it looks more like a comet than any other Messier object. Look it up on the planetaria and then orientate yourself with respect to the belt stars.

Cat, spluttering with dust. Well done! I would try to get more on this next season because it is a belter of an object but needs time and f ratio. I'm amazed by what you got in the time.

Going to have to leave this one this year as getting too low to horizon for me and all the murk of nearby town.

Great image Catanonia

Love the colours.... and second the new labelling also!

Just like to also say that goes for the 'fluid' website.

Clear skies,

Cheers mate, i really need to update the website, have about 5 more images for it.

Still deciding whether to get more data for this one and use PixInsight on it.

Very nicely processed, especially the colour and the 3D effect.
