M33 in bits and pieces

This image has proven to be a hard one. I started with a run of 5 minute images where I managed 6 before the observatory walls got in the way. Over the next 5 nights I managed another 4 X 5 minutes and 10 X 10 minute exposures. It worked out well as I have been at work on day shift all week and didn't stay out to late making the mornings a bummer.

Not my best image but it was fairly low down so I can't expect to much.
The images were registered using Registar then stacked using ImagesPlus. The final cosmetics were handled using Photoshop. I ended up with a bit of a gradient and now realised it is caused by a street light in the next street.

Captured with QHY8Pro, Takahashi FSQ106ED, Guided on a Losmandy G11.
The image was cropped to remove some of the gradient. and relections from the street light.
