There are a lot of images used in the background of this one also and, once again, they all come from www.sxc.hu/. And then there are two filters from www.redpawmedia.com/, Fog and Beautifier.

A Ha-OIII-RGB composite of Messier 78 (NGC 2068) is my first attempt at this deep sky object and this type of post-processing. It was imaged in the northern hemisphere in my yard.

M78 is the brightest diffuse reflection nebula of a group of nebulae that includes NGC 2064, NGC 2067 and NGC 2071. This group belongs to the Orion B molecular cloud complex and is about 1,350 light-years distant from Earth.
