Description

This is one I've been holding on to for a while. I'm glad I saved it with all the clouds and rain we've seen lately around here. Truth be told though, I actually walked away from it and then nearly forgot about it. M33, in spite of its brightness, is probably the toughest galaxy to process. Adding Ha into the equation seemed to make it even tougher for me. I finally have something I am halfway pleased with, so I published it here. Would have been very disappointed if I hadnt after spending 20 hrs acquiring the data and countless more in front of the computer monitor!!!

I was also in the middle of another project and couldnt rotate my camera. It needed rotating to frame this galaxy the way I wanted with the 107mm/8300 camera, so I had to rotate the image and crop it.

Revision B is annotated.
