Shoddy M33 from Cambroon

Sat night new moon at Ron's (Cambroon) allowed me to collect limited frames of M33 through intermittent cloud and fog. Collecting 5 min subs, I only managed to get 10:10:5:10 mins of LRGB. The weather didn't seem to care that I'd been dreaming of 3-4 hrs of LRGB along with a bit of Ha if time allowed...

After spending some hours trying to salvage a half decent pic there are many aspects of colour and presentation I feel don't surpass the original hack process (quick Maxim stack without any image cal/correction at all!), so I've shown both here.

At least I managed to shoot something to break the imaging drought though

1. Pixinsight/photoshop calibrated
2. Original Maxim/photoshop quick effort
