M33 from my new location - Only 22deg elevation

Hi fellows,
I am moving to a new house where my wife built a new observatory targeting as much free horizon as possible.
To to check the new site out as to light polution and general access to the sky, I did this quick M33, a very north object for my latitude. The average elevation of M33 was 22 deg.
Despite a just reasonble result, I think all effort we put to build the observatory in the new house was worthwhile.
Comments and criticisms are welcome.

Thanks for looking,

Fernando

For 22 deg. elevation that's just brilliant.

Cheers

Hi Fernando,

So that's what it's supposed to look like, great result.
What setup are you using?

Cheers,

Justin.

Thank you Justin. I used a TMB 92 f/5.5 and a ST8300M. The capture was autoguided through a OAG and a Lodestar guider.

Thanks for the compliment!! Actually she does. Her sister Rose loves astronomy as well, but unfortunately in the other side of the world.

Wonderful image, Fernando. I'm surprised you can even see this galaxy from Brazil.

Beautiful result.

This is now IOTW.

Very impressive given it's only at 22 deg!! Your location must have beautifully clear & dark skies!

Cheers, Marcus

Mike, yes we can see it in a very low elevation, though. I am honored to have this image being the IOTW. Thank you very much for that.

Yes the sky I have in the new site is amazing, not to mention that I have 360 deg of free horizon being able to image with elevation of only 10 deg with low light pollution. That means that I will die without to explore all the potencial of this new sky.
