M-17 Deep Exposure. Meade LXD75 8" f/4 SN Hand guided 80mm f/12 refractor 45 minutes on Fujicrome 400 Provira No computer/dark room editing No filters, uncropped
This shot of M-17 is unusual in that I exposed way longer than most, to grab the most faint details in this Ha Nebula. The Swan or Omega symbol is almost totaly gone, but the 3D effect of the whole nebula is fantastic!
