M17 Narrow band

I thought this image deserved its own thread. Last night I picked up nearly 3 hours of SII and so I put together the data today. Certainly very happy with the outcome, which has a very 3D effect and misty look around the nebula. The outer parts of the image have a little bit of noise but the main object looks quite smooth to my eye and that is what I am looking to achieve in all my images. The whole object is fascinating to image in narrowband. Certainly glad I persisted with the use of my current filters and it goes to show what you can achieve with a 4" refractor.
