Lunar Imaging Session - May 16, 2014

I was able to get some free time to test my new filter drawer for my ATIK 16HR CCD camera on Canon EF 100-400mm lens to see if I can reach focus with it. Standard filter wheel is too thick to get enough focus distance. With everything installed. I got to test out on the Waning Gibbous Moon and was able to reach focus and capture it. Now I have confidence to use it in our upcoming deep sky imaging session at the end of the month.

Reprocessed M17 Image

I try to reprocess again my M17 Omega or Swan Nebula once again for another version with slightly warmer colors as some says my earlier version is paler in color..... Oh well.... Hope this will be my last image adjustment :)
