A breathtaking composite image of Messier 17 (the Omega or Swan Nebula), a vibrant star-forming region in the Sagittarius constellation, showcasing its intricate gas and dust clouds sculpted by stellar winds. The image reveals the nebula's cavernous appearance and undulating shapes against a backdrop of Milky Way stars, spanning over 30 light-years at a distance of 5,500 light-years from Earth.

Good Sunday morning. The s50 is amazing. Went back to #m17 #theomeganebula #swannebula before going to bed. #seestar #s50 #space #astronomy #amateur
M17 The Omega / Swan Nebula - telescope processed image. M17, or the Swan/Omega Nebula, is a massive star-forming region in the constellation Sagittarius, known for its glowing gas and distinct shape. M17 The Omega / Swan Nebula - unprocessed image. It's a colossal star-forming factory so bright and massive it can be barely seen with the naked eye under dark skies, and it's home to one of our galaxy's youngest star clusters.

#M16 the #EagleNebula, and #M17 the #OmegaNebula or #SwanNebula were close enough to each other that I could get them both in frame with this #RedCat51 telescope.
