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 located about 1,350 light-years from Earth.
About 45 variable stars of the T Tauri type,[7] young stars still in the process of formation, are present within the nebula. Similarly, 17 Herbig-Haro objects are known in M78

This new image of the reflection nebula Messier 78 was captured using the Wide Field Imager camera on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at the La Silla Observatory, Chile. This colour picture was created from many monochrome exposures taken through blue, yellow/green and red filters, supplemented by exposures through a filter that isolates light from glowing hydrogen gas. The total exposure times were 9, 9, 17.5 and 15.5 minutes per filter, respectively. #L
Messier 78 or M 78, 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.
NGC 2071 is a reflection nebula in the constellation Orion. It was discovered on January 1, 1784 by William Herschel. It is part of a group of nebulae, that also includes Messier 78, NGC 2064 and NGC 2067.

I'm not happy with the processing on this image, but I'll try again another day. 2 hours 25 minutes of exposures.
This is Messier 78, a reflection nebula in the constellation of Orion.
Image Data: Canon 60D with an Astronomic CLS in-body filter, at the prime focus of the 18" KPO Reflector. 30 subframes of 120 seconds each, yielding a total integration time of 60 minutes. Captured in Nebulosity, processed in StarTools, and finished in Aperture.
Object #38 of the Moore Winter Marathon - Messier 78, a reflection nebula in the constellation of Orion. Quite an easy object to find using the belt stars of Orion and Alnitak. The stars in the nebula were easy to spot but the nebula itself less so. This sketch was drawn on 12 November 2012 using a 130mm reflector (17mm Plössl eyepiece, 38x).

This image of the region surrounding the reflection nebula Messier 78, just to the north of Orion’s belt, shows clouds of cosmic dust threaded through the nebula like a string of pearls. The submillimetre-wavelength observations, made with the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) telescope and shown here in orange, use the heat glow of interstellar dust grains to show astronomers where new stars are being formed. They are overlaid on a view of the region in visible light.

Looking forward to get some bigger lens or scope to capture this again in future...

This is a reflection nebula called Messier 78 (M78) and can be found in the constellation of Orion just above the left star of Orion's belt (Alnitak). If you imagine a line at right angles to the belt and move up about the same amount as the distance to the rightmost star in the belt you could find it. You'd need a telescope but it is there!
On BBC Sky at Night one of the astronomers described it as the "Headlights Nebula" because of the two bright stars inside it. These stars (and the others in there) illuminate this wispy nebula.
Image taken on 8 October 2023.

An attempt at an hour of exposure of reflection nebula #messier78 through intermittently cloudy skies. This fuzzy patch is just to the upper left of Orion's belt. This one is proving tricky. I think I need about 3 hours to really bring our detail and color for this one. #astrophotography #deepskyphotography #messierobjects #reflectionnebula

ESA’nın (Avrupa Uzay Ajansı) Euclid uzay teleskobunun yayınlanan ilk görüntülerinden olan yıldız oluşum bölgesi Messier 78’in bu olağanüstü detaylara sahip görüntüsünü sizler için işledim. Yaklaşık 1 haftalık çalışma ile elde ettiğim bu görüntüyü zannediyorum dünyada ilk işleyen amatör bilim görseli geliştiricisiyim. Dileyen en altta verdiğim linkten işlenmemiş ham görüntüleri indirip işleyebilir.
Bu nefes kesici görüntü, yıldızlararası tozla sarılmış canlı bir yıldız kreşi olan Messier 78’i gösteriyor. Euclid, kızılötesi kamerasını kullanarak bu kreşe derinlemesine baktı, yıldız oluşumunun gizli bölgelerini ilk kez açığa çıkardı, karmaşık gaz ve toz filamentlerini benzeri görülmemiş bir ayrıntıyla haritaladı ve yeni oluşan yıldızları ve gezegenleri ortaya çıkardı. Euclid’in aletleri, Jüpiter’in kütlesinin sadece birkaç katı olan nesneleri tespit edebilir ve kızılötesi ‘gözleri’ yalnızca bu görüş alanında 300.000’den fazla yeni nesneyi ortaya çıkarır. Bilim insanları, burada bulunan yıldızların ve daha küçük (yıldız altı) nesnelerin miktarını ve oranını incelemek için bu veri setini kullanıyorlar - yıldız popülasyonlarının zaman içinde nasıl oluştuğu ve değiştiği dinamiklerini anlamak için önemli.

This breathtaking image features Messier 78, a vibrant star nursery enveloped in interstellar dust. Euclid peered deep into this nursery using its infrared camera, exposing hidden regions of star formation for the first time, mapping its complex filaments of gas and dust in unprecedented detail, and uncovering newly formed stars and planets. Euclid’s instruments can detect objects just a few times the mass of Jupiter, and its infrared ‘eyes’ reveal over 300 000 new objects in this field of view alone.

M78 is the brightest reflection nebula in the sky. Amazingly, I've only targeted it once...in 2016. I hope to get out and capture this one as well again.
