This is my first serious effort with the 115mm refractor using R,B,G L and HA..not that there was much/any ha.
Captured before my tumble. There was not much data and it was not flash.
Unguided HEQ 5... 60 second exposures hideous high gain at 300...did 20 dark frames trying to introduce small improvements..as the mount tracked incredibly well I did not get my usual auto dither
. as I had to rest up I pulled it down to pass the time...I am pretty fast with pull downs these days.
Zwo CAMERA RUNNING AT -15. each filter got a run of 30 minutes so not much time really but I wanted to get something in one night...as my first..M31 was after this its taken a long time to process for a number of reasons.
3x drizzle however using Deep Sky Stacker, short run in Startools merged in Photoshop and downsized and little tweeks in Gimp.
I have turned down the colour but I expect when I look tomorrow it with seem way too saturated ..but its late so...
M33 is the third largest galaxy in our local group I seem to remember but if you want details look it up
..
probably will need to fix it tomorrow as to saturation as usual.
Edit..the second one I touched up on my phone...I think it looks the better if the two

I tried a funny approach to create my Luminance..I had a few Luminance but before stacking I added the very best from the other channels ..like 4 or 5.. to pad out data..I think it could have helped...and for a few reasons have not been using the focuser mask cause the lappy is not well place so I blow up the star and wing it.
