M17 Omega or Swan nebula

This image is not one of my best but I have spent a lot of time on it just to get this far. I had to learn a new technique from Rob Gendler's site to get the colour balance correct. Even with this in mind there are still some blue halos around the blue stars.

I am very happy with the detail though. Strong knots of nebulosity can be seen through the nebula and it has a strong 3D look to it.
