M17 The Swan Nebula

The weather has been playing hard ball but I managed to squeeze in 30min Ha in some average seeing and 20min each of RGB in less than average seeing (which didn't matter). I have seen what good seeing looks like from inside the dome but I haven't been able to enjoy it for a full image yet ...all better than the seeing in Newcastle though!! (thank god)

Anyway, considering I knew I was against the clock I went for something bright I am enjoying this new camera though, great guiding with the OAG, I can see when the seeing cooperates some really good resolution should be able to be extracted

M17 The Swan Nebula

Hopefully a galaxy next time

Incidentally.. I have been astroimaging/photographing for over 30 years now...this is a shot of M17 I did back when I was 17, for its time it wasn't to shabby: M17 1984
