M33 from Cambroon 2008-10-25
M33 - Canon 20D modded, WO 0.8 FR and Orion ED80, ICNR. 3x600sec @ ISO800. Autoguided with TV Guider through the hand paddle port on my GM-8 mount (digital drive).
Unfortunately I had some AC battery probs so I was only able to manage 3 shots before the fog rolled in, hence the noise trying to stretch it. Even so I'm happy with it for only three shots. Aligned and stacked in IP, post processing in PS. I'll have to try dithering the image next time and then using median combine to deal with the hot/coloured pixels.
