Picture of the Week

This week’s featured image is the beautiful reflection nebula M78 in the constellation Orion. This is a composite image using data from both the original Hyperstar with the little H9C OSC CCD, and also the Sky90 array with the M26C OSC CCDs. Probably around 8 hours of data in total. The band of emission nebula at the top left of the image is part of Barnard’s Loop.
