18 hours HaLRGB on M33's core

[Datalord]

This one took me months to finish due to a stressful time with lots of work and a move from UK to EU. Finally got some calm to sit down and process this data.

I wanted to see what I could get if I trained the big RC on the core of M33 and due to a few factors it kinda just continued. This is the best data from a total of 30+ hours captured.

One of my goals with this one was to see how much detail I could get with the Ha added to the mix. Having a peek into the star nurseries of another galaxy is super intriguing to me. I'm not sure I like the aesthetics of this image, but just looking at the details is fascinating.

 

For example this one in the bottom left:

I can't help but wonder what led to such a big ring shaped hydrogen cloud. And the stars in the center must be incredibly bright.

Thank you!

Here's Santa for you, on the 24th. A bit scary, very 2020.
