Thanks much. She is tough to image but after multiple tries I was pleased with this one for just 1 hr. Not a ton of M76 on Astrobin and the images vary greatly.

Good result for this tricky object. I did a search on Astrobin and there were only 6 pages of results returned. Speaks a lot for the difficulty/popularity of M76.

Thanks, guys. I agree, it is tricky which I think adds to its lack of popularity.
