Description

M 17, the famous Swan or Omega Nebula, captured during our visit to ATHOS Centro Astronómico, La Palma, in 2019. Image acquisition by Andreas Krause, image processing by me. The image was captured in broadband (LRGB) only. Seeing was not very good, but deconvolution in PixInsight improved te result.
