7 hours on M33

[kirkster501]

OK my processing is still a work in progress but this is what I now have after 2 hrs Luminance and 1.5 hours each on RGB.  Completely processed in Pixinsight.  Critiques welcomed!    I think I may have slightly over-noise-reduced the bit a third of the way out from the core.

All on my FSQ-85 and 460.  The Tak has so far only "looked" at M33!   This is over two nights.

Thanks for looking,

Steve

Nice image with very natural-looking colours

That a great looking M33! I think it could do with a couple more hours of Lum though. I think you could still pull out more details in the arms which will help make those Ha regions "pop" more. Unless you have an Ha filter then definately grab some Ha but doesn't sound like you do.

Hi,

Excellent image, you have a lot of data there, I am sure it can stand a little more sharpening around the dust lanes.

Regards,

That's a great image Steve. The Tak & Atik are certainly a great combination.

M33 isn't that easy with our Nottingham skies.

cheers

Very nice! As said above it has a very natural look.

Thankyou guys.  The imaging sessions for this were not the best skies, sort of "milky" mag 4 skies only.  I am saving the data though and will build upon it.  I have seen some M33's with HII regions all around the spiral arms.  I think i need a HA filter for that.

Anyway, at least proves the new FSQ is good to go.  That was my major objective.

I love that, blows my attempt out of the water. My only criticism is that the pic you've posted is a jpeg. Would love to see it in a .png if poss?

A really good image. I tried to photograph M33 tonight, but no joy. However I'm taking 20 x 1 min subs of M31 at the moment and they look okay. A good clear night for AP.
