M17 The Swan Nebula taken with 60Da

Finally - a chance to use the Canon 60Da on an h-alpha emission nebula. There are about 20 300 second sub frames at ISO1600. Captured with Backyard EOS, stacked and pre-processed in Images Plus and tweaked in Photoshop. I had enough signal in the 20 subs that I was able to stack using the "sigma clipped median" method and did not have to stretch in PS. I think this 60Da is going to work!
