M33 in Triangulum

[Fay]

M33 taken in France.

30x300, QSI 583ws, SW ED80, 0.85fr, RGB=10x300 secs each.

Not used to colour, so bit of a trial to process. may have another go and take some Ha, after i have sorted out  the 200 normal photos I have taken! 

Thanks

Fay

Lots of detail in the arms, well done. It's a hard one to capture.

[Fay]

Thanks very much everyone.it is only because i was in France that I did RGB not enough good skies here at home.

That's a very good looking M33! The starfield seems nicely balanced in colour, perhaps it could use a bit of a saturation lift?

Cracking shot Fay, very crisp.

It looks a tad magenta to me. I'd be tempted to drop the magenta saturation and then push the reds and blues just a little.

[Fay]

Thanks very much i will do that Rob

Good stuff, Fay.

In Lessons From The Masters http://www.springer.com/astronomy/astronomy,+observations+and+techniques/book/978-1-4614-7833-1 R Jay Gabany offers some low noise colour boosting ideas which work incredibly well. Highly recommended. Using Saturation is a noise monster but GaBany's ideas get around that.

Very good M33. It's a faint affair that guzzles time.

Thanks very much,

Olly i will have a look at that,

the last time I did this was as Les Granges about 2009. 

Rob i increased red & blue, bought Magnta down, lot more definition in the  brown bits!

[StuartJPP]

Very good!

I like this a lot Fay, well done.

It's a surprisingly difficult target given it's angular size, but it always seems to look noisy and very difficult to get a good colour balance.  I guess the magenta could go down a tad, but still think this is very nicely processed.

Thanks for your comments, appreciated. i will have to make more of a habit of RGB now, for some practice!
