This CCD image of the Omega Nebula M17 was obtained with their Astro Physics EDF 152mm f/7.5 refractor by Brad Wallis and Robert Provin who kindly contributed them to our database. Three 10-minute exposures with SBIG ST-7 CCD camera, with minus-IR and No. 25 (red) filter, have been combined to create this picture.
