      Description

      Here is my first astrophotography feat! I have spend hundreds and hundreds hours for the traitement, searching for the best workflow, adjusting minutely each parameters. Then I finally finished and reach the best own satisfaction and say nothing more to add nore to change ... until now ;-)

      The book Inside PixInsight from Warren A. Keller helps me a lot (I highly recommended it), mostly to improve masks but I smooth more recommended parameters.

      I abandoned my Nikon D5600 for a ZWO 1600MM-C and I see how much I improve quality image and treatment. Now I see beautiful colors! With D5600 colors were pretty poor. I improve very well my collimation now I have very few elongated stars.

      You know this popular the triangulum galaxy, no need to had a copy paste description ;-)

      I dream a lot looking this picture, comparing this galaxy to our thinking where can we be, how many details we can see, findind tiny galaxies and looking big and small nebulae.

      Next step for 2018, a great H-Alpha session

      Enjoy, share, like and dream

      A special thank to Tommy Nawratil from teleskop-austria for all his advices and great products (dewheater, telescope and M-Gen Lacerta)

      Description: Little tuning for more details and better TGV denoise + minor workflow adjustments

      Description: Always looking for the perfection, I notice some red weird colors in arms. Finally fix it with a better mask use for TGV denoise and better technique for color saturation, see comments below + curve correction when lower the brightness (use RGB/K instead of luminance) I downgrade color saturation because it was too much and red dominant, looks now more natural ;-)
      Update: high-res resolution

      Description: When I see the beautiful M33 from Paddy Gilliland, I notice something wrong with my M33 ... is it the same galaxy?!
      OK there is no up and down in space but in this way, it's better ;-)
