I've been gathering some data on M33. Here is my first pass at processing. I'm sure I'll be playing with the data for a while.

Nice Tom, this will be a fun shot to watch develop. Which scope and camera were you using?

I've been working on an M33 myself, I should have something (first pass) to show this weekend.

Great image Tom. I would just about be calling a result like this my final pass. The H-Alpha regions really pop out.

I do have a question... your exposure data suggests (to my understanding) that your luminance was 680 minutes and your Ha was 210 minutes? I would have thought the other way around.
