Description

Summertime on the balcony, where the nights are not really dark anymore. This time again with NINA and the Optolong L-eXtreme filter, it worked surprisingly well, even if the highest altitude in this region is roughly 25°. The next well-known target in the summer night sky may be ticked off. Maybe some RGB stars are missing and will follow, depending on the weather conditions.

From Wikipedia:
The Omega Nebula, also known as the Swan Nebula, Checkmark Nebula, Lobster Nebula, and the Horseshoe Nebula (catalogued as Messier 17 or M17 or NGC 6618) is an H II region in the constellation Sagittarius. It was discovered by Philippe Loys de Chéseaux in 1745. Charles Messier catalogued it in 1764. It is by some of the richest starfields of the Milky Way, figuring in the northern two-thirds of Sagittarius.
