M17

Part of last nights effort. About 4 hours of 10 min subs using the SX M25C with VC200L. This camera is a bugga to get colour balanced with faint objects like galaxies but it revels in the nice bright red nebulas. Its cropped as I centered on the brightest part but when processing it looked out of balance. I'll try again tonight.

Very nice Paul, I see you got good outline on the "spanner" as well. Just something I noticed when I imaged it on the weekend

thanks Malcolm. The Spanner??? i don't think I've heard of that one.

Nice work, Paul! That camera does seem to do a good job on bright nebulosity.

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

thanks guys. Lets see if I can get more clear skies and try some galaxy shots Rick.
