M17

Edited

Not the world's hardest object but I had not imaged M17 for well over 10 years. About time! I also have some narrow-band data I still need to process.

I also have been doing some images from my bigger systems at home in Oregon but since this is a Dark Sky New Mexico forum, I will not post those here since they are sorta OT - they can be found on my main Astrobin page as well as my JAlbum site. Both linked below if anyone is interested.

Take Care

This is fantastic. I don’t remember seeing all of the red in the background around it. Even more amazing is the relatively short exposures with your KAF-8300 and just RGB.

 

Thanks for posting,


Dan

Great image...not sure it needs much in the way of narrow band.  Thanks for sharing.
Clear skies,

Nicely done. I like the color, especially in the core. Many shots I see fo this have the core completely washed out.

The core color is one of the hard parts, for sure. A combination of masked stretch and standard histogram followed by some work in Photoshop was what I used.
