Description

M17, captured over 6 separate nights from the backyard approx. 2hr+ each night after dusk as the target is only within visibility before disappearing over the house quickly after 9pm. First go at the Omega Nebula but found it challenging to process initially in hubble pallete SHO but decided on HOS as I just love the red tones for this beautiful target. Doesn't do it justice really, hope you like it.
