Description

Before I went outside I decided that I wanted to try and image M33.  I also decided that I would use my
Orion 8 Inch Newtonian Astrograph.  That was a mistake and I know better from experience.  That scope
should not be used to image with a nearly Full Moon up.  It gathers a lot of light but it's not selective 
in the light that it gathers.  The light gradients were a processing nightmare.  I lost a lot of detail
in the galaxy because of the light gradients.  But with all of that said please enjoy my most recent image 
M33.
