M16M17widea

While on vacation I shot several wide angle images. At the top is the Eagle Nebula with the Pillars of Creation. At the bottom is the Omega Nebula. Some may recognize this as the Swan Nebula, or the Checkmark Nebula or the Horseshoe Nebula. You can zoom in for the details. The photo was made with an FSQ106 telescope. The CCD used was a MicroLine 16803 by FLI. I tried to get 7 sets of 2 minute LRGB's, but I lost 1 to 2 frames from each filter.
