M33-First LRGB

Actually quite a few firsts for me.

1: First attempt at M33
2: Dithering between images (I was told that it helps).
3: 2X2 binning on LRGB channels (got to try these things).
4: Processing LRGB in Pixinsight (tedious).
5: Used itelescope (special introductory offer).

Scope used was a Planewave 12.5 CDK located in Spain (no clouds).

Using the remote scope was no different to having it outside the bedroom window :-)

Details are:
20 X 300s Lum
10 X 300s each RBG channel
Total integration 4 hours.

No idea why some of the stars look like doughnuts.

A lot of stuffing around but it was all fun!

PM me if you want some data to play with.


Thanks for looking.
