Description

If the sky is clear, but it is full moon there is only one chance to get some photons: narrow filters. So I decided to took some frames of Messier 17, also called Omega or Swan Nebula. The Astronomik Ha 12nm filter worked great and only a few degrees away from the full monn I could attempt this nice image.
