M17 is also known as the Swan Nebula. I imaged this with my Canon 300D digital camera. It is a large star forming region in the area of Sagittarius, very near the Eagle Nebula.

All images on this site were taken at my observatory, Skunky Acres Observatory, located at 7000 feet above sea level, high in the mountains of New Mexico. Skunky Acres gets its name from the prodigious skunk levels of the surrounding area (it was either that or Skunkapalooza).

Note: Please adjust the brightness and contrast on your monitor so that you see each bar of the color bar as a distinct shade. The darkest one should be Black (not dark gray), the lightest White.
It is critical that your monitor be adjusted properly in order to see these images correctly.

Interesting Links...
Note: Ocasionally I run images and highlight views of subjects which have a scientifically controversial nature. I do not espouse any of these ideas over the more scientifically accepted theories. I feel that a little controversy breeds healthier discussion.
