The Heart of Sagittarius - M17

I've been lucky enough to get out with the rig a bit more this year, to the extent I trusted letting it go all out on a single object for a while. So in the immortal words of Kirk "Let's see what's out there....."

This is a crop down on M17 from the full field, taken over a few nights.
LRGB 233:39:48:60 for just over 6hrs all up (Subs of 500secx1:180sx2:240sx2:300sx2)
QHY9 through the 8" Newt with IDAS LPS from the 'burbs.

I was surprised and happy to finally be able to get a bit of blue colour in my stars and brighter parts of the neb which was unexpected for "city data". Very happy all up, but keen to hear what others think re processing etc.
