M17 the Swan on a great night!

That is an awesome picture Gary. At least for probably the FIRST time I can comment on something other than how good it looks, for finally I have some experience to call on. I have tried to image that nebula and infact got some amount of data on it, but Ive never been able to get that colour in my pictures, nor that amount of detail around the edges of the nebula.

So its "Hats Of To Gary"

We haven't been on the forum for a while and just caught up with this amazing image. Colour and detail excellent.

What a thrill to post such a stunning image Gary we admire your skill at actually making your own scope and reaping the rewards.

Can't wait for you to finish the 8"
