That's what I have. My Trius fits into the same filter wheel MMOAG setup as the FLI. That way its one filter wheel, one set of filters,one setup different cameras.

I actually think I have an SX to FLIFW adapter in my accessories boxes, I got it for the CFW-2-7 back in 08 in case I wanted to use the SXVH9...? So if a bigger version of the 694 ever comes available...who knows

This is such a great image Mike. Love the colours and detail. That dark cloud on the left near the core makes this image look 3D, I haven't noticed it in other images of the Swan so much before.

Classy image Mike! The bi-colour blend is great with the OIII transparency a treat to view. I'm interested to see what SII is going to bring to the image.
Hope you get your mount sorted out soon.

Well thankya Jason Yeah that dark cloud is one of the special bits of M17, I agree. It's funny, I just can't orient M17 in any other way than this or it looks just wrong, I see other orientations but to me it just has to look like the duck (yeah always looks more like a duck than a swan to me) swimming on the water but be somewhat tilted to the horizontal...hmmm? a duck fetish

Classy huh? well, I'll take that my good man 
You know me Jase, I tend to get bored pretty easily, hence why I don't really have the patience for mega data any more let alone a mozaic ...by the time I fix the mount  and now after spending so much time tinkering with this image over a few days...meah, I'll likely not bother with the SII now  and move onto something new....keen on hammering a couple of cool planetary nebs actually

Nice rendition of a reasonably well known object Mike. I don't think I have seen this one done in a Bi-colour before. I like it.

Glad you like it Rex, wanted to test the filters on something bright and easy...and to annoy Jase

That's an awesome image Mike, the colours are very cool. Love the Oiii and Ha contrast!
Bummer about the mount! Hope you find a quick fix for it soon.

Very nice, Mike. I like it a lot!
I imaged this a while back and tried to do a SHO version but was never entirely happy with the colours. I should revisit the data some time now that I have a few extra processing tricks in my arsenal.
Cheers,
Rick.

Beautiful work Mike!
Something about the Bicolour that lends itself to the complexity of the Swan.
Cheers,
Justin.

Cheers Justin There are certainly plenty of ways to skin a cat, this was just my take and there are some great narrow band M17's out there
