M17 THE SWAN

[CELESCOPE]

Just managed to get this one the other night before going behind the trees , the prob is its so low down , guess i,m lucky to get it , but this is just 10 subs at 35 seconds with the fast star system , and HA  filter, processed in Maxim .

Taken with the Atik 2HS

You've captured tons of nebulosity there Rog - and with just 35 sec subs!

As you say, this one is a real [removed word] to image, being so low down for us in the UK. I have to try to get it when making a fleeting appearance from behind the tree next door & sinking below the rooftops. Not ideal!

An excellent shot. Well done.

Well Captured and excellently imaged. Never got this one imaged myself due to it's position in the sky..

THATS WHAT I WAS WONDERING ??HAVE I DONE SOMETHING WRONG HERE, :shock:

[AndyMac]

Rog, I think it's probably the fact that we have such trouble viewing it in the UK because of its southerly declinations.

Astroman's observing conditions are.........um..............a little bit better than ours!

Yeah Astroman may hav ebetter skies than us but we have braodband

Well the only thing that i can see that you have done is to promote jealousy & envy from the likes of me-

because i haven't been able to take images of that quality.(yet)

Superb image Rog.-

P.S Keep making me jealous its your duty.

Broadband. My dial-up has never exceeded 15.6K. The images are fantastic, but it took most of the afternoon to see them. I'm a tad jealous.
