Description

Yes, another M33! Inevitable at this time of year.
This was my first clear night in weeks but of course it coincided with a pretty much full Moon. Back in the year I bought an Altair Astro Tri-Band OSC filter which I had not had occasion to use so thought I'd give it a go. I couldn't find many examples taken with this filter so it was an unknown quantity. Quite pleased with the result.
A bit noisy and there were severe 'light pollution' gradients which required processing persistence to eradicate. APP's light pollution removal tool was excellent but not 100% so the remainder was removed manually in Affinity Photo. I thought processing would be quite involved but APP has a setting for this filter type which made it very straight forward.
Nice to know that I can now make use of those clear but Moon filled nights!!
