Astrofest M33

[Garbz]

Well now that I'm in Holland with nothing but my hotel, a computer, some unprocessed astrofest photos, and a strong cold given to me as a parting gift from my beloved what else should I do other than finally process photos. :)

This was M33 from this year's Astrofest.

Taken on a Meade ED80, QHY10, 3h 20min total with 5min subs.

Thoughts? Critiques? Praises? Insults?

Really, really nice pic is the best I can do Chris...! :)

No eloquence from me either, that's awesome :thumbsup:

PS I've heard of worse parting gifts :lol:

Great detail in M33! Colour looks spot on to my eyes :)

Nice Chris! For an object that is trimming the tip of the threes a very remarkable rendition! :thumbsup:
Cheers
Marco

Thanks guys.

Was trying something new with the processing this time. I actually followed a work flow rather than blindly winging it.



Ebola ? Because I've spent 3 days in a new country in the middle of the World Port Days festival and I've spent most of that in bed. :mad2: Actually this is probably payback for when we went to Europe and my girlfriend was sick but I made her climb all the 340 steps to the top of St Stephens Cathedral in Vienna anyway. Karma is a female dog. :lol:



Awesome, great to hear. I did it on my laptop instead of my colour corrected monitor and I let PI's colour calibration routines run it instead of doing it by eye, so I had absolutely no faith in how it looks. :)

Very good!!

Cheers,

Yep, looks good, Chris. Post a full res version and maybe we'll find something to pick on :)

Cheers,
Rick.

Looks great Chris.

[Garbz]

Well if you insist, full resolution it still looks very much like M33, just with more blurry pixels :)

OK, I won't pick on it then :)

Saw that one on FB. Pretty sweet. :thumbsup: Love the contrast you got in the dust lanes. Makes me want to redo(do) mine again.
