Description

M17 in h/a.  Shot 8/26 and 8/27 2021, remotely from the New Mexico Skies site of i Telescope, which is about 32 degrees north, at an  elevation 7,300'.
Shot with 20" Planewave CDK at f4.5, yielding a 36' x 54' field size.  Proline PL11002M CCD camera.   This is a sum of 18 x 5 minute h/a exposures, binned 1:1.
Processed with Pixinsight, and a few tweaks in Adobe.  Not sure I'm done with this yet. 
Regards, Tom Schmidtkunz
