Description

My first narrow band attempt of m17, after uninspiring attempts over the years using OSC cameras. I really like the additional structures evident using NB. This is the first time I can discern a potential "swan" shape in this nebula, with a beady eye and feet paddling away below!

Unfortunately SII subs were extremely faint using 5mins/gain200, so I hope to get some 10min subs at g250 or g300 down the track for an SHO rendition.

Wishing CS and good health to everyone!
