Description

My previous guiding effort on M31 appeared good, so I tempted fate to move from 540mm up to 910mm for M33 and the Double Cluster. Using the Astrotech field flattener, which seems to do ok. Still struggling with color adjustments.

Title: M33 Revised

Description: This was my very second astro-image, and I really was new to the whole image editing game. The imaging run was late October 2021, five sessions ending on November 10th. At the time the first version was processed there was no way I was going to delete any of my hard-won subs!

Looking at it now, I see that much of the data was just not that good. What I ended up with was 5 hours 15 minutes in LHaRGB.

This image was also my test run for processing the Stars and the Target as separate layers. Using StarXterminator and NoiseXterminator as plugins necessitates converting to 16 bit. For this image, I just stayed in 16 bit the whole way. Also, I was able to try out some of James Ritson's revised Affinity Macros. This sparse data was probably not the best candidate, but they look promising.
