Another M33

[Stevec35 (Steve)]

Once again this is nothing special but it's the first time I've had access to the telescope in Arizona for quite a while. The data was fairly ordinary and I haven't worked out the reason for that yet but there's quite a bit of detail visible including prominent Ha regions.

Cheers

Yeah the data looks like it was a bit of a mess, looks like there was a problem with one or more of the RGB frames..? the image is pretty flat, the colours are off with the bulk of the galaxy a kind of a mauve colour and all the stars are yellow, the background is uneven and stars look a bit wonky... but other than that... a great image Steve

Sorry, just being light-hearted, t'is not one a ya best matey

Yeah - generally agree with most of that. I think the scope was a bit out of collimation and I don't know what was wrong with the background.
