Seeing Thomas Davis' beautiful version of M78 got me excited to try reworking my old data of that object. I have learned a little more about processing since I captured the data for this image, so I thought I might be able to improve upon my original offering. My color is not as rich as Tom's, but it turned out OK anyway. Here is the result.
Cheers,
Tyler

Tyler,

The nebula is a little soft in detail but all-in-all a nice image!!

My version and yours have a very similar FOV -- that's neat! I love the colors of this region.

Best,

very nice! Its amazing to me how I can get such different results from the same data when I reprocess just a few months later. All in the learning curve I guess.....Vince
