Another M33 -- nothing too special

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

G'day Greg,

Welcome to the wonderful world of cooled CCD imaging! The learning curve can be long but its fun. My advise is to shoot 5-10 minute frames and stack them to get at least one hour for luminance and 30-50 minutes for each color filter. Median combine is good. Careful DDP will tone down the bright core and help bring out the faint nebulosity as well.

Good luck!

Best,
Tom
