Another week, another "Out-of-Season" Astro image taken much earlier in the year.
This time, we're spending ~14 hours in M17, the Omega (or Swan) Nebula.
I had never imaged this before, mostly because it had never appealed to me an an interesting target. I had some free imaging time up my sleeve during the past Milky Way season and finally decided to give this one a go. To my surprise I've found that there is a nuance of rich detail and a pleasing asymmetry to the nebula, made apparent with the longer integration time.
Enjoy! And as always, C&C is welcome!
I Encourage you to check it out on Astrobin! The compression artifacts to meet the forum guidelines do this one a disservice!
