M17 Omega Nebula (Swan Nebula)

Still working on best autoguiding settings to use. The off axis guider seems to give very elongated stars with 2 bright sections one at each edge, its almost like guiding on a double star every time, the autoguider keeps losing the star and swaps to other side of the very elongated star.

M17 Omega Nebula:
30 x 120s subs (gain 90 bin2x2)
20 dark frames, Processed with Startools and gimp.

Scope: 12inch Meade LX200 at f6.3 (alt/az de-rotated)
Camera: ZWO ASI071MC pro
Guider: ZWO ASI120MM-S
ZWO ASIAIR pro
