First Deep Sky image in yonks

With no planets at the mo I took advantage of the fantastic skies. This is my first deep-sky image in 8 years according to my log!!

M33 C80ED, Caon Rebel xT, 14 x 5min lights, darks and flats applied. Callibrated in Images Plus3 and processed in PS. Manually guided with a C100ED and SkyNyx camera.

Hi Dave,
How are you keeping. Did you notice the seeing has been fantastic over the last few weeks not a twinkle form the stars.And of course there is no Planets to image same old story. Anyway back to your image I love the detail colour is spot on very well processed well come back to deep sky imaging. it is something I have got the bug for now big time and I blame Dave Grennan for that.

BTW,
Don't forget the 8th on November party for the too Dave's

That is a cool shot Dave, the level of depthness is remarkable. I mean, it looks like the galaxy is behind the foreground stars. I know it is in reality, you've just captured that depth nicely. The colours look perfect. Nice to see Triangulum again!

Dave, the spiral arms look very nice, pity it was'nt brighter in our skies, it's a great image, but hey , looks like it's gonna be very clear again tonight

Keith..

Lovely image Dave. Very sharp and expertly guided.

Dave,

This is excellent. Although M33 is large, it is not as bright as it may first appear.

If you have an opportunity to add h-alpha data, do so, for there is lots of activity in the spirals and which will make the result pop out even further.
