M17 Swan/Omega in Ha

[troypiggo]

Got this the other night, but it went below my horizon before I could finish the RGB. Thought I'd post the Ha in the meantime. I've never imaged M17 before, and it's bright core is a bit of a challenge not unlike M42, although to a lesser extent.

A very good monochrome photo Troy.

The Ha brings out so much detail.
