M17, The Swan

Hi Guys

This is taken from 100 km out of Sydney, so darker skies

The first of four pictures for the night, here the stars look nice and round. As the night wore on, tracking got worse and worse, so i think my mount was sinking into the dirt. Anyway, i like the orange star

12 by 300 sec subs, darks plus flats, UV/IR block
TV85, TV 0.8 reducer on EQ6, self guided with SBIG 2000 XCM
Levels and Curves PS2, Sum combine in Maxim
Reduced to 1200 pixels, 40 % compression.

Thanks for looking, any comments appreciated.
