M33, The Triangulum Galaxy.

[MARS1960]

This needs much more data but the skies aren't playing ball.

But as iv'e spent twice as long trying to process it than i did imaging it i thought i may as well post it .

So all we have so far is:

10 x 900sec subs

SW100ED

Modded Canon 600D.

Nice one.  Has a touch of the Reds on my screen...

Yes it does rather now i look again, ooooh to have young eyes again.

Iv'e taken the red channel down just a teeny weeny bit and i think it looks much better.

Thanks gnomus.

Lovely image for the amount of data you have

It still looked a bit red to me.  This is what I had in mind:

I agree with Steve. I thought it was possibly more the high reds than the faint which were too strong.  If you look at the best M33 images you find that they don't show this galaxy as terribly colourful so I think it takes a bit of confidence just to accept that and process accordingly.

Anyway it's a remarkably good result from limtied data.

Thanks guys,

Yep, that looks much better gnomus. thank you.

Thanks Olly, with the help from all the guys and reading Inside PI i'm getting there slowly .

If you have PI this was an easy 'fix'.  I Colour Calibrated in PI using a Preview free of stars for Background and another preview encompassing the entire galaxy for white point.

Excellent, thanks for that gnomus.

Nice work for limited data - other have made all the relevant comments  Review some colour calibration techniques and you will be there.

Great image, especially after the suggestions put down by others here.

As for the ratio processing time to imaging time, that is usually a lot more than 2 for me. I must really get myself to collect more data.
