M78 Reworked

Here's another rework of an older image. These dim, dusty objects are favorites of mine. I wanted to better the detail in the dark regions and improve the color of the dust there.

This one was taken with a Tak Sky 90 II on a Losmandy G-11. 2 minutes shy of 2.5 hours of exposure using Canon 20D(unmodified). 4 minute sub exposures @ ISO 1600

I really like M78 too. Kinds like an evil place with a nice swimming pool in the middle.

Nice job pulling out the dark clouds and details.

Thanks, it's a tough one but well worth the effort.
