A swan in the night sky - M17 Omega Nebula in HaRGB
« on: 2014 July 09 18:43:14 »
Hi

I want to share with you this image in HaRGB of M17, the Swan or Omega Nebula taken from Bogotá Colombia.

It was taken with a modified Canon T1i and a hyperstar lens at f2.3 with a C925 EdgeHD telescope on an iEQ45 mount. Exposure time was 4.5 hours (2 hr RGB and 2.5 hr Ha). Here it is:



Captured with Backyard EOS and processed with Pixinsight.

Thank for looking!

Best regards
