Triangulum Galaxy improvements on first efforts

[Quatermass]

Last night was unbelievably brilliant clear skies from 9pm onwards I was out there till gone 4 in the morning. My first target was M22 Globular cluster followed by the incredibly faint Barnards Galaxy, then M74 a lovely spiral galaxy and another one I can not remember the name of and lastly this lovely galaxy. Have a lot of processing to do now but it was fantastic.

So this is my latest attempt at imaging the galaxy compared to my first efforts many moons ago now. I think I am improving a bit now.

last nights imaging session.

and my first attempts at this target

The first attempt was November 2011, cant belive 2 years have gone by!

Cheers John

Oh, yes, I was out until silly o'clock last night. Clear again tonight, too, though I'm not sure the seeing is as good as last night. Still, the subs are coming in already

Cracking image Mark, I think I booked the wrong week off work as this week there's already been 2 clear nights in a row...

Cheers adam clear dark skies and getting my focusing better really helped me improve things when I did it back in 2011 I was failing to understand how bad my focus was.
