Widefield M16 and M17

Hi,

I like it to get more objects in one pic. So I used the Canon EF 200 to catch M16 and M17 with the 350da.

Nice one Werner! I love seeing them against the clouds of stars in the first pic :thumbsup:

Lovely wide field of these targets. Well done.

Now that is wide. An amazing amount of detail present.
Well done.

Wide is good.
It's like you're seeing them in their natural environment.
Nice work Werner

Nice work Werner. The full size crop looks a little bit soft though - i guess the combination of low altitude and potentially bad seeing had a negative effect there.

Excellent work though, I'm a bit fan of your widefields.

Hi all,

thanx for your comments! Our latitude does not make it easyer.
Here my final result, I hope :rolleyes: :
