Description

Here is my 3rd galaxy the very well known M33.  I took this over 3 nights the past 2 months as I had to wait for clear skies and close to new moon.  This is a combination of 2 scopes, most of the images are from a Sky Watcher 190mm Newt/Mak with the other scope being a Explore Scientific 152mm carbon fiber triplet refractor.  I did this somewhat to compare the two and to my surprise the 190mm Newt beat out the 152mm refractor by a pretty significant margin.  I ended up capturing over 11 hours of data.  I am pretty happy with how this turned out, lots of good detail and the NB pulled out a lot of the nebulas in the galaxy.

This galaxy was discovered in 1654 by Giovanni Hodierna.  This galaxy was actually mentioned in Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Where no one has gone before as the galaxy the Enterprise traveled to when there was a malfunction in the warp engines.

Description: I processed this image a little different to bring out more of the NB data. I actually prefer the first image, but thought this was cool.
