M17 The Omega Nebula HA-RGB

[RAC]

I've had a nice run of perfect weather so I've been able to get some imaging done at last.

I'm not that happy with this one. For one the stars don't have enough colour in them so i may have to revisit it at some stage. But if i view it at 100% then it looks better.

1 hour each colour (RGB) 2min subs
Atik 383L mono camera
Baader 1.25" filters

Love the detail,

The HA has helped in that department, colour is nice to.

Well done
