I really struggled with what to post on this one. I figured there would be a bunch of Rosette, Orion, Horsehead, Andromeda etc., so I went with this little reflection nebula instead.

"Messier 78
or M78, also known as NGC 2068, is a reflection nebula in the constellation Orion. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1780 and included by Charles Messier in his catalog of comet-like objects that same year. " ~ Wikipedia

K5d converted full spectrum
48m uv/ir filter (passes Ha spectrum)
Exposure: 600s
TPO OS6in 150mm newtonian imaging scope
Eq6r pro, with diy extension pier - DIY Indi/ekos remote.
guided with a converted finder scope and ZWO asi120 camera
