A excellent M17 and nice SHO colour palette too
Well done !!
I totally concur with the OSC vs Mono debate, after 3 years using the 2600MC I decided to take the plunge and go Mono with the 2600MM about a year ago. Best thing I ever did , so much more detail and fidelity in my images plus the added bonus of being able to create bonafide Narrowband palettes with ease. Mono is a win win under both Bortle 8 and Bortle 3 skies.
I use Startools to process and Mono has been a pleasure to process compared to my OSC.
Cheers

Thanks Martin! I didnt choose my battles though! New CAm new filters new mount all at the same time!

Im working though refining the AM3 to get below 6 constantly RMS because I noticed some spikes in the graphs periodically just nudging on the border of my image scale.

Thanks Greg! Yes I did a stack of Ha to go for the outer detail. Then I need to adjust the colours to bring it out. Overall happy with this target becuase its not the most sharp object in teh sky to image for some reason
