M17 Astrofest
M17, The Swan Nebula
Just one hour total exposure time on this one. But it's enough to be able to tease out the finer detail that is sometimes missing due to over exposure of this quite bright nebula.

Very nice work JJJ, my only criticism is on the stars appearance, perhaps a filter applied on size reduction (minimum?) gave them the strange look, I would try to recover a bit of the original "gaussian" light curve on the stars

Nice work Jeanette,
I never knew about the Canon CDS1100D till now.
see link:

That's an interesting solution for astrophotography.
What exposure times did you use & how many?
cheers
Allan
