A colourful Swan

It hasn't been a good year for clear weather on new moon weekends, so all I have is more narrowband from home

Here's an image of M 17 which started as Hubble Palette and had a bit of an accident. I was trying to do something just a little different...

Scope: Ceravolo C300 @ f/9 = 2760mm FL, Atlas focuser
Mount: AP900
Camera: U16M
Filters: Astrodon E series Gen 2 LRGB
Guiding: Lodestar / MMOAG
Image scale: 0.67 arcsec/pixel
Exposures: 8x1200s+11x1800s Ha, 7x1200s+18x1800s O3, 7x1200s+31x1800s S2, 7x300s R, 7x300s G, 7x300s B
(8.15 hrs Ha, 11.3 hrs O3, 17.83 hrs S2 - total 39.08 hrs)

High res is on Astrobin: http://www.astrobin.com/115053/

Hope you like it. If you don't... tell me why. I appreciate the great feedback I've had from folks on IIS

Cheers,
Rick.
