M17

[RugbyRene (Rene)]

My effort on M17, the Omega or Swan nebula (I don't see it myself but whatever).

283 subs at 120sec each for a total of 9.43 hrs of integration. Processed in Pixinsight.

Equipment:
SW Esprit 100
ASI2600mm
IDAS LPS D1 filter
Bortle 6

I cropped this one very aggressively as the nebula got lost in the star field.

You have done well.
A very detailed capture.
You need a lesser image to see a swan so don't worry about not seeing one in your fine image.

Thanks Alex. I'm pretty happy with this one given it's only just over 9hrs of integration time.

Nice one Rene, very very tidy. Oft ignored target, well done.

Very nice image Rene, lovely detail and colours

What the others have said - great detail in the dust clouds, and a subdued palette that brings out the contrast very well.

Cheers,
