ASTRO: M17

After damaging my Atik 383 camera in Namibia I imaged with my SXV-H9 plus
80mm ED refractor. As a last object in a night I usually did some "standard"
stuff just for fun, among them M17.

Date 2011 June 2
Object M17
Optics Vixen ED80Sf with AP CCDT67 Reducer, 399mm focal length
Camera/Filter SXV-H9, Baader R:G:B
Exposure 5x5m each for RGB
Mount/Guiding MK100, OAG, Lodestar, AA5
Location Kiripotib Namibia

Standard object at that declination isn't all that "standard" from your
50N latitude! I need to try again on this one but so far any night I've
tried seeing wasn't cooperating and I gave up. Nice to have it high in
the sky!
