Another M33 -- nothing too special

I took this last night while waiting for another target to rise. It certainly could use more exposure....

STL-11000M
LRGB 60:40:40:40 minute. RGB binned x 2

It looks a little too blue (now that I'm awake). I'll fix that, sorry.

Tom,

What amazes me is that this was shot while waiting for another target. Those exposures are a whole night's work for me! 8O

Great shot Tom!
What was the OTHER object you were waiting for? I would be really happy if this one was the one I was waiting for... as it came out great.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Tom,

Your shots just get better and better.

When you say LRGB 60:40:40:40 what were the subexposure times?

How do you do that many if it were a lot which I suspect? Do you use the autograb feature of CCDOps? I just remembered you use Maxim DL, so does that allow you to program in say 20 shots in each colour at 3 minutes? Ir do you have to sit there and take each 3 minute shot and autoguide setup on each one, or does the auguiding simply continue why you take more and more shots

I am in the learning curve for my Sbig 2000XM and took a lot of shots last week. But I sat there taking each individual subexposure
unguided for now.

Best,

Greg.

Nice image Tom! I like the way you framed the shot - give it a distinctive look.
