Default ASTRO: M17 widefield halpha high resolution

here is M17 in Halpha taken with the AP155EDF f/7 with the PL39KM camera
using the FLI Research Grade halpha filter

it is only 3.5 hours of exposure but it is starting to shape up

Is the camera red sensitive? it did well for that exposure time in H
alpha. Even the fainter parts of the nebula look smoother than I'd have
expected.

I haven't measured it but Kodak says QE of 20% at 656nm

Well, that sounds pretty much like a KAI 11000 ;-)

Actually it is "far" more sensitive than that. All the way up to just a
bit above 30%. One reason I have so much trouble bringing out HII
regions in galaxies.
