Description

I was imaging the Pelican Nebula after the moon was down enough to image, but then of course the Pelican was at zenith and the dome I'm using doesn't quite open far enough...so I switched targets and grabbed a few subs on M17. It got a little low toward the end, so I had to do some serious light pollution removal which made this image kind of dark, but I still kind of like it.
