Description

This is basically 3 nights of L data (Vixen VMC110L + ZWO ASI 178MM) and 1 night of RGB data (TS Photoline 60/360 + Nikon D7500). I spiced up the color data with 70 unguided 30 second subs from last year (essentially the older M17 image in my galery) and a couple dozen RGB subs taken with the Vixen and the ZWO ASI 178MC.

I prefer the colors which the D7500 delivers, they just feel better to me. But I also like the detail from the powerful Vixen/ASI 178MM combo. I think they two are a good fit.

Needless to say, this is from a hopelessly light-polluted part of my sky.
