M 33

[astropintr]

Hallo south guys!
I am sending you photo from my astrosession. Now I have new upgrade - mount EQ - 6 Skyscan. I tested new mount and you can see my photo - galaxy M 33

exposure: 11 x 7 min, ISO: 800
equipment: Skywatcher ED 80/600, Canon EOS 350 D unmodified
processed: Subraw, Adobe Photoshop 7.0 CE
manualy guided with refractor 70/500

Now I am waiting for new autoguider and this is my last photo with manual guidering.

nice work - you will love autoguiding when you get it running!

Nice shot. 7 minutes, unguided?? Well done. The difference may not be as great as you imagine, as that shot is very good.

Nice work. Having recently processed this galaxy, I acknowledge its not an easy galaxy to work on. Typically there is much focus on the galactic nucleus to ensure you don't clip information. However, with M33 the nucleus is relatively diffused. This changed the focus to the bright HII knots and the outer spiral arm structure. Other than the colours and square stars, you've done a good job on processing the object. Well done.

A lovely looking galaxy very sharp and detailed. You have done a great job capturing that one.

Cheers

Very nice, you didn't even burn out the core!

Great shot. It's on my list when it gets up at a sensible hour. I really like pics of big galaxies taken with small refractors. The galaxy doesn't dominate the pic and the surrounding stars give a good impression of the galaxy floating in space.

Your image kicks ass Pavel!
I hope to image with my ED80 on such a stable platform as the EQ6 soon too.
Lovely work - thanks

Thank you guys!
Next image I would like to take with my computer guider. Manualy guidering will be past for me.
I would like to use also my Skywatcher 254/1200. It will be my second step for improvement.

Thank you all for your comments!

Wow! That is a manually guided image.

It is not easy to manually guide photographic focal length of 1200mm. You had done the job very well.

Hallo,
This is not picture from my Skywatcher 254/1200. I took picture with my small Skywatcher ED 80/600. But I guided manualy.

Thank you for your comment.
