M78 - Fire and Brimstone

Full resolution image link:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7517/158 ... 30e1_o.jpg

Image

Information about the image:

Instrument: Planewave CDK 12.5
Focal Ratio: F8
Camera: STXL-11002 + AOX
Camera Sensitivity: Luminance BIN 1x1, RGB BIN 1x1
Exposure Details: Lum 600sec x 14, RGB 480sec x 8
Mount: AP900GTO
Viewing Location: Taken at Heathcote [Victoria, Australia].
Software Enhancements: CCDStack2, PS, Pixinsight
Comment: Take over two nights, being hot and gusty. One night having very good seeing, whilst the second was very poor. Taken on the shortest nights of the year for us down-under.
I never realised M78 was positioned on the edge of the Barnards Loop, and hence the red nebulousity to the one side.
