Description

I took this alongside the Veil nebula and then once that was done I finished it up with a week's work of exposures. I really love this nebula because it is so bright you can see it very clearly with a telescope, and that made it much easier to study before we had all this astrophotography gear. Members at my Astronomy club tell me that observing M17 is a much more mesmerizing experience than photographing it. I will definitely have to do that one day with my SCT. For now this picture will have to do!
