Description

This is a trial effort on M17 for a color narrowband image of this interesting object.  It's a challenge to capture all the fibrous structure in and around this deep sky object.  Image data was 20 x 180 seconds Ha unbinned 1x1; 20 x 300 seconds each SII and OIII binned 2x2.  I hope to give this object another if the weather ever clears here in Las Cruces.
