History lesson, M33 in late summer, a first for 2020

One of my first serious astrophotographies, done in late summer 2020, early in the morning with already bright sky, and with the galaxy being not high up in altitude. I've reprocessed this same material many times in my "career", and it shows me, how my software skills evolved. From a grey ugly patch, to a quite ok colorful photo from the same data. This includes not only statistical properties of stacking but maybe also a bit of taste evolution.

This photo is a PREQUEL, as it is full winter, I am determined to redo this data with Triangulum Galaxy high in the sky, with THE SAME equipment to also see how my data gathering, guiding, PHD 2 tuning and sensor understanding has evolved.

By slowly wrapping up 2020, my first astrophotography year (started doing astropix in late May 2020), I'd like to thank all that guided and helped me, also stood by, and even lifted heavy counterweights with me.

Love U all.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
