M33 - Triangulum Galaxy

[nucdoc]

Finally after 3 weeks of clouds I had two clear nights to collect data and add it to the data collected 3 weeks ago.  I plan to collect more this week, but after nearly a month wait I was impatient and decided to process what I had.

There is a faint band along the left border that only appears after I convert to PNG, I never see it in the XIF files when I am in PI. All criticism is welcome

2.5 hrs of Ha, Astronomik 6nm

1.5 hrs of L, R, G, B Astronmik CCD filters

TMB 175mm with Riccardi flatener/reducer f6, Atik 383l+

From my backyard near Toronto, ON Bortle 6 (most times)

SGP and processed in PI using Warren Kellar's methodlogy

Nice image. I'm about to take delivery of a 383 so I'm interested in the FOV on this target compared to my current 414. As a personal thing, I would be just concentrating on the LRGB now as I don't think anymore HA will add to the shot.

Thanks Stevie.  I used the following website to compare FOV of different camera's and scope combinations.  I am sure there are other tools out there as well
