M17 & ic4701

After a long time not processing anything, mainly due to lack of new raw frames, I eventually processed this new image, of the wide field that comprises the emission nebulas M17 and IC4701. In this nice h-alpha emission rich area, I’d like to highlight the presence of the open cluster M18, of the small emission nebula Sh2-47 and of a little reflection nebula, VdB120; the last one barely visible as it is superimposed to IC4701.
