M17

Part of last nights effort. About 4 hours of 10 min subs using the SX M25C with VC200L. This camera is a bugga to get colour balanced with faint objects like galaxies but it revels in the nice bright red nebulas. :D Its cropped as I centered on the brightest part but when processing it looked out of balance. I'll try again tonight. :)

Very nice Paul, I see you got good outline on the "spanner" as well. Just something I noticed when I imaged it on the weekend

Nice work, Paul! That camera does seem to do a good job on bright nebulosity.
