Description

M17 was very low on my horizon, so I needed three days worth of shooting for this. I also rejected about 20% of the shots, mostly due to guiding issues. Still I'm happy with it. M17 is very bright, and I like how it stands distinctly apart.

But I may have imaged it upside down. Anyway, I like it this way.
