My M17 from last night

Hi all,
We went to Wind Wolves Preserve, a local wild life preserve,last night and I captured M8 and M17.
Here is my M17 image. 30secs x 173 exposures, DSI II C, WO 80mm Triplet, no guiding, PS CS2 processing with FITS Liberator.
What do you think?

One thing I would recommend is, comparing your shot to some other images of the same object, and try to see if you can get the colors to match... it is a good exercise...


Clear skies, and keep'em coming!

Wow, Floyd, 173 exposures! Did it take a long time to process?
Looks very promising. One thing though, was the focus spot on? I seem to remember my 80mm WO triplet as being quite widefield (the F6 model) and thus very sharp.

I like it, Floyd! Even if it's not the characteristic nebula red, it still looks good to me.
