M17 Omega Nebula

Hi All,

I thought I would share my photo of the Omega nebula, which I took on Sunday night. I had to battle a lot of skyglow in the suburbs of Brisbane but the photo below is 2.5 hours of exposure. The photo consists of 50 x 3 min guided subs at ISO800 stacked with 15 x 3 min darks. I used Deep Sky Stacker.

The equipment used was:

Skywatcher ED120 Black Diamond Refractor
AZEQ6 mount
ST80 Guidescope
Skywatcher Synguider
Canon EOS 550D with Astronomik Light Pollution filter

Anyway happy to get any comments and any advice on how to improve the photo.

Regards,

Tom
