Description

I followed pretty much the same workflow as in my M31 image, and this seemed to have less noise despite being less integration time and when compared to my last attempt at M33, this is a big improvement, both due to my processing getting better as well as the EAF being able to give me consistently focused stars all night.

I wasn't sure how it would turn out after my last attempt, but I'm very impressed with the detail in the arms and this is definitely going to be one my focuses once I either get a new camera or take my setup to Wales.

Some of the stars were hard to process compared to my M31 image but I think there were  some clouds around at some point, as there is a weird gradient in the stack but I can't find anything in the individual images, but I think I managed to bring out their colour without  over-doing them too much.
