tomato Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I took some test subs of this galaxy last night with the dual ED 150 rig, checking for flex/sag on the second scope. Not exactly a deep image, but the subs were Ok so I thought I would process them. I did a major goof on the camera alignment, got them out by 90 deg, so the image is cropped significantly. Lum 16 x 300 sec with Esprit 150, G2-8300 RGB, 5 X300, 5 x 300 4 x 300 sec with Esprit 150, Atik 383 Calibrated and processed with APP, finished in GIMP.

tomato Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Yes, M33 fills the sensor on this configuration as evidenced by this image taken with the single 150 rig, but they do appear remarkably similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurin Dave Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Indeed they do.. similar in absolute size too with lots of HII regions. But about 3 times further away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
