Default ASTRO: M17

Hi, With the jet stream overhead last night I was still able to get 25
minutes of data. The guide star was all over the place and the stars are a
bit bloated in the final image. I used my C-11 at f/5 with a Canon XTi set
at 800asa in jpeg.

Sounds like my normal conditions. It came out rather well for
conditions and being rather low in the sky.

My only color attempt came out rather blue in the brighter parts of the
nebula. It was done before I knew much about color processing. I need
to see if I can reprocess it into more correct colors.
