M33 - Fighting Light Polution

[mightymonoped]

Only 30 mins captured in 5 minute subs. Really hindered by light pollution from Ipswich (has got much worse over the last 3 years).

Will have to try this properly (either somewhere else in the sky or with a CLS filter).

Anyway, it was a first try with this target, so it's all good learning.

ED80 (gold) + FR + EOS 450d (unmodded) on NEQ6

Capture using BackyardEOS V3

Guiding with PHD using ST80 + QHY5

Stacked in Maxim

Curves in CS2

Noise Reduction using NeatImage

nice. the elusive m33.

This is a tough target, more subs (even with LP) will probably help to bring out more detail so keep adding some and it will hopefully get better.

That's certainly the plan. Had to get started somewhere on this one, like M101, it's a work in progress:-)

Love mine to bits, it constantly surprises me. I've had it for over a decade and still wouldnt part with it.
