Description

Chaos in M17!
Managed to pull through just over 7 hours on this, 2.5 hours in Ha and Oiii and just over 2 hours in Sii.
Framed up to include M18 The Black Swan Cluster to the right.
Hopefully we get some more clear skies this month to get some of these nebulae before they dissappear for the season although Orion and his buddies are on their way as well!
All data was collected through the Skywatcher Esprit 100ED and ZWO1600GT, combination of ZWO and Antlia Pro narrowband filters.
