M33 (smaller scope - less time)

Hi All,

I also took some images of M33 recently. I wasn't sure if it would turn out OK but I thought I'd process the data anyway. I was inspired by Tyler Allred's recent posting -- it was absolutly wonderful.

My image has much less exposure time and was taken through a smaller aperture scope than Tyler's. I need to add more exposure time.

AP 155 EDF f/7
.67x reducer
ST-10XME
LRGB 33:15:15:15 minutes

It's a tough object to get the processing right.

Tom

It looks great Tom!

I think my best asset was the 10,000 ft elevation dark sky site where I took the luminance data. The color data that I added last night is very unspectacular, but it was good enough when layered with the good luminance.
Cheers,
Tyler
