This is a single 10 minute luminance frame I processed while waiting on the others to come in. I hope I don't mess up the full stack when I get around to it. I plan on getting some color soon, but we shall see...

Charles,

I went after M78 just last night (LRGB @ 60:60:60:60) and I hope to have the data processed over the next few days.

I wish I had your focal length, for I really like your sample sub. With my FOV (43'x29'), I also managed to get the small reflection nebula just to the north as well as various Herbig-Haro objects to the north and south.

Anthony.
