M 78 - NGC 2068

Acquiring and processing details

This was a hard one to process, the conditions for taking the subs where not at all in my favor. Pretty bad seeing due to wind and a bad transparency with lots of high clouds. From the 170 subs I took I only could use 70 of them. So in total an integration time of about 1,7 hrs in RGB and CLS filter used as luminance layer. The calibration and integration was done in Astro Pixel Processor and the processing in PixInsight.
