Default Taking SOHO even deeper into space!

Check out these shots I processed from SOHO, the first one is the
Saggitarius star clouds near M8

This second one shows the Omega Nebula M17 and the open cluster M25

I looked up both the M17 and M25, they match exactly to the maps. Even
the Saggitarius star clouds match the light areas in the backgrounds.

I don't think anybody even thinks deep space images when they think of
SOHO; and although a backyard scope can do much better when these parts
of the sky are viewable, I'm happy as can be to discover that when it's
raining outside, I can use SOHO to outperform all other telescopes for
deep space regions near the Sun!

Regards, Jason H
