Messier 78 January 2019 HaLRGB
Messier 78 is a reflection nebula located in the constellation of Orion. M78 is the brightest diffuse reflection nebula in the sky and lies at an approximate distance of 1,600 light years. This is by far the most difficult object I have attempted to process. Imaged over 2 nights, the 29th and 30th of January. On both nights conditions were below average conditions and I had to stretch the data quite a bit to bring out the detail.

QHY183M cooled CMOS camera
Baader 7nm Ha and LRGB filter set
Guided using Lodestar x2 mono ccd
