Description

Between November 2023 and January 2024 I have had ONE night of imaging. Now I am reduced to applying the great new Pixinsight and Astropixel Processor tools, techniques, and apps to my older images.  So this is a reprocess of a previous effort on M17. 

This version of M17 is from July 2021.  At that time I had less than 2 years of astro imaging experience. 

These subframes were captured over our July 4 long weekend vacation.  We were situated on the western edge of the Rogue-Umpqua Wilderness area.  Although the nights were short, the skies were dark, and happily, the mosquitoes were not very aggressive!
