Nice work Alex. M33 in Triangulum is quite a faint galaxy and you have managed to capture some nice detail there. It’s a little too red on my LCD display, but a great photo none the less!

Cheers

i am going to try and see this from north north tasmania on the weekend of the 6th october overlooking bass strait.

Try is a negative word ..it implies the opportunity of failure... still it will be rather low for you I guess...good luck.
I dont have much land to look over for this one or M31 so they seem fair enough.
Thanks for your kind words and I love your daughters words to you.. very nice.

I have variations in every color imaginable... but as you can tell I have moved from my ärtistic"green period into my "red" period of interpretation.

When I get the auto guiding set up and many other little things I will get serious and do the hard yards (for me) to get the color correct.

In the mean time I am interested to see what detail the rig is getting now.

The detail you are getting is already very good.
Now stop teasing and combine the red, green, yellow images

Just building the interest Martin....
and seeking that most improved title when I come up with the goods

I dont get much time at the moment and I still await my two dsi cameras to arrive... but I will say it again the introduction of your focuser saw a giant leap forward... it is so precise. And it is surprising how once set you can take the camera out replace it the next night and the focus is still very good... saves so much time.
