M33, Triangulum Galaxy in luminance

[AstroAndy]

Hi all

My recent rendition of the Triangulum Galaxy (M33, NGC 598) in the constellation Triangulum at about 2.5 million light years, luminance, 20x5min., Atik 314L at -10 degrees, SW200P, guiding w/ 9x50 finderscope and PHD2, no flats, altogether 100min. worth of exposure. I had to do an awful lot of wizardry to get rid of light pollution effects.

I've always found this a tricky one because of it's low surface brightness. LP just makes it even more tricky!

Well done!

Thanks. Unfortunately, it was in the East, towards the city lights, but I guess one has to make do with what one has.
