Here's another near infrared image, this time of M17, using the Astrodon near infrared filters. The nebula still looks the same although significantly reduced and you get a lot of obscured stars now being visible. I may do a mouse over at some stage. I hasten to add that these images are interesting curiosities without being all that scientifically accurate.
Cheers
