M17 Swan Nebula L, RGB, and Ha combination

[troypiggo (Troy)]

Been quite some time since I did some astro-imaging, but with a little more time coming my way now and with the weather (hopefully) becoming a little more favourable, I've pulled out my gear in preparation. Going through my old data and tinkering to refresh my memory on image processing, I found some data from last year that I don't think I ever got around to processing or posting.

So here is M17 the Swan Nebula (sometimes called Omega Nebula) in Sagittarius.

Looks good Troy - obviously haven't lost your touch.

Thanks guys. The LRGB was a bit washed out as this was taken from home at Auchenflower. I was hoping the Ha would come out even more than it did, as the Ha alone looked promising. Still, happy with the result for now.
