M76 Planetary nebula

Last wednesdaynight on 14th of October was predicted by astroforecast.org to be a very exceptional and clear night. I had to take advantage of that. The M76 planetary nebula was already long on my todo list and in this time of the year it is in a very favorable position for me to photograph it from my backyard. This is a astrophotograph I made with my 200mmF5 Newton. It is a widefield image of 13x10min (totalling 3hr10min autoguided) @ ISO800.

And here is a crop of the M76 planetary nebula.
