Description

About 6 hours of red, 4 hours of ha, 8 hours of blue (forgot to set filter to change one night) and 3 hours of green. I also took a little over 5 hours of luminance, but my asi1600mm kept giving me difficulties. The fan caused the camera to shake, causing the pictures to look horrible. I took apart the fan today and cleaned it with hopes of that fixing that little problem, but I have a new fan and vibration resistant clips coming soon. So, lum data was captured with NO cooling. LRGB data captured with no moon, Ha data on full moon. 

Pixinsight and adobe ps were used. DSS for stacking. I also had some distorted stars on the right side of the image,  i assume thats from my imaging train not being perfectly flat in the Newtonian focuser. 

Ive seen lots of images of M33 here, and was very excited to photograph it. I hope I did it justice!
