M33 with genesis

Hi all in IIS,...
Its been a while since I have posted a pic due to all the crappy weather the last few months. Managed a night before the cold snap hit. Was very windy and warm so the seeing wasn`t the best maybe 5/10 and lots of noise to remove from the final stack...and being low to the north with some LP present.
I decided to use the genesis as being only 500mm focal length the seeing won`t affect the image as much as with the newt.
Pic consists of 20 frames at 3 min at iso 800, stacked in registax and processed in PS.
Comments always welcome.....(I think it looks ok?)
Cheers Gary

Hi Gary

That is a superb image of M33, which I understand to be a difficult target due to its low surface brightness. You've done a great job.

Cheers

Dennis

Looking good Garry. Perhaps increase the exposure time to further improve the S/N ratio.

Thanks for the kind remarks guys,
I tried some longer shots Jase but only seemed to capture more LP than signal. Last night would have been a ripper of a night for redoing this as was so clear!! but had other things I wanted to image last night...Looks like another clear night ahead.... been a long while so no sleep again!!!
Cheers Gary
