M33 - (R+Ha)GB

[Plodder]

Latest attempt on this the most difficult of targets. ~2 hours a channel, RGB 600 & 900 & Ha 1200 sec subs, 14.5" f3.8 Newt, G4-16000, Paramount ME.

That is a gorgeous image, I do love the bright colourful ones and you have done an excellent job 👍.

Great image and yes a hard target (or so i have found). 900s with RGB and f3.8 - do you live in the middle of Outer Mongolia or the North Pole, maybe the dark side of the moon?

Thank you for the encouraging comments, and no I don't live on the far side of the Moon though my wife might disagree. In truth I I've never tried 900 sec subs but trying to get any definition in the arms  of M33 is a nightmare. However processed in PI  it has turned out OK. The well depth of the KAF-16803 is superb, no noise reduction was carried out

Here is an RGB sub screenshot sample.

A beautiful rendition of my favorite galaxy. 

Very nicely done! I have neither the sky, the right equipment nor the skill to deliver M33.

Thank you Trailer Trash but none of us starts off with the right kit or the skills, it takes years if not decades, stick in there.

Anyway I thought some might be interested in the crop of the lower arm and the rings of Ha which are very prominent, the more you look the more rings you see, small and large.
