I have been looking at other images by other photographers and felt that I needed a bit more adjustment on the M33 image.
Last time, I just ask, do you like this one better? I find it to be better, but second guessing yourself is hard. grin

That looks really nice. The colors look correct and the sky looks black - you can see where the galaxy goes out really far.

There is a green thing near the edge about 10 o'clock from center. I haven't noticed that in other M33 images. Any ideas as to what that might be? Not the color I would expect from either emission or reflection nebulae.
