Can a C9.25 HyperStar Handle M78? | An EAA Challenge

In this video, I take on the M78 Reflection Nebula — a faint, broadband target that’s known for being difficult, especially under light-polluted skies. This session was captured from my Bortle 7 backyard, with a total integration of around 40 minutes, using live stacking and restrained processing. Reflection nebulae don’t respond well to narrowband filters, which makes M78 a good test of what’s realistically achievable in a single EAA session. The goal here isn’t to produce a heavily processed final image, but to show what a traditional EAA setup can reveal in near real time, under real conditions — including the limits you run into with faint dust and sky noise.
