Description

I decided it's time to share this out-of-season object that has been sitting on my disk for quite a while.  Shorter nights slowed progress of my other projects so now I finally found the time for it.

If the Cocoon Nebula is a ruby, the M33 is a sapphire.  We're lucky to have it so close to us!

My usual approach with galaxies is to use soft touch when it comes to Ha injection into the LRGB combination but to use relatively high saturation. I also like to maintain some of the relative brightness of the galaxy cores over a dull, lifeless look (which perhaps may appear somewhat more detailed).

Drizzle 2x to recover resolution.
