Description

Hey everyone,

this is my first try at the famous Triangulum Galaxy and my first image of a Galaxy (with the exception of Hubble/Webb Data hehe). 
Honestly I have to admit that I had a really hard time to process this image. This is proverbial the thousandth version I made but the good part about it is, that I've learned tons of new techniques.
As a example I processed the stars with a completely different workflow than the DSO object. With this I mean different stretching tools etc. Due to this I am on research for some objects I found in my data. But more of that later when I'm finished. Today I wanna share this somewhat successful (at least) Image with you only for the sake of enjoyment.

Wish you all the best and CS!

Title: M 33 with Details

Description: When I processed the image of M 33 I found some nice details like stars, H-II Regions and other stuff. But a small accumulation of stars, right above the famous NGC 604 catched my attention. For better seeing I zoomed in and found a few stars in a cluster like object. Therefore I started looking for this region in images from other astrophotographers but I didn't found one where this object is showed so detailed. My next step was the astronomy platform SIMBAD where I found a constellation that might fit but it's hard to recognise. On top I had problems to properly plate solve the image for exact coordinates. I checked the stacked master file and found the same constellation. On a single light frame it is hard to see properly because of a lot of faint signal. So I have two options maybe these are big artifacts or I found an interesting star accumulation not much investigated only in a few papers which deal with a special category of stars, so called Mira Variables and a SNR located in the direct environment of the coordinates I figured out (AB is bit off sadly...). I will do more research but I think at the end option one is more likely (*sadly laughing*). However I like the research process and it's a lot of fun, therefore it was already worth it. When you have some tips for this kind of research I would appreciate it!

Stay curious and CS!
