[AstroFest] Blown across the northern horizon (M33)

Folks,

In the north, often known as the Triangulum galaxy after the inconspicuous constellation in its foreground, or sometimes the Pinwheel galaxy - not to be confused with the more obvious pinwheel, M101...

Or just M33

Collected over 3 late nights, with seeing that can only have claimed to be average at best, these photons found their way down the tube of my Esprit 100 and excited my ASI1600MM-Cool.

With its low surface brightness, this beast of a galaxy is a tricky one to process (in my limited experience), needless to say, critique and suggestions welcomed as always...

Cheers,
Dunk
