M33 - triangulum galaxy

[jacko61]

First attempt at M33 in only the second clear night I've had since the start of September. Saturday night was a catalogue of errors - firstly, my iPolar wouldn't connect even though I tried 3 cables (found on Sunday to have been some new driver downloads waiting on windows 10 - not sure how they would have broken the existing drivers but it's working now).  Then I found my Advance GT alignment was way off and it was taking ages to get the alignment sorted - AND - once it was lined up, the power lead fell out as it had been dislodged while I was faffing with the iPolar.  Eventually got everything working though - However, for some reason I had the gain on the ASI533MC-pro set to 150 (no idea how that happened) and I think that's the reason some of the stars look blown out - could also be my processing skills   Next clear night I'll try again with longer subs at 100 gain.  And finally, I had to bin half my subs as the clouds had rolled in while I was inside keeping warm.

looks over processed but a good image, you don't say how many images you took, I'm crap at processing so i usually do them in SIRIL then tweak them in Affinity studio.
