Description

I'm still after my wall hanger and would love it to be M33. So here's my latest attempt to get a picture on the wall. Fingers crossed the cloud gods will be appeased by all my ritual sacrifices lately (watched too much Britannia recently) and they'll leave me alone for this winter.
The new camera will almost fit M33 into a single frame but nothing else i.e surrounding space for pleasantries on the eyes, so a two pane mosaic for some perspective. This is now up to around 11 hours of data and is finally taking shape. I've nailed a tack into the plaster already. 
There's a promise of some clear next Tuesday and the alters running dry, so enjoy this JPEG (the 64bit looks  on the wall in my mind)
I took these subs on the same nights as my recent Abells after they disappeared, so a months worth.

Description: Re-done the same data using the excellent Normalise Script Gradients addition to the pre-processing thingy, which I've never used. Still prefer to calibrate manually. This works very well with my poor data though. Well worth a look into, a good tutorial is available by Adam Block on youfacetubebook.
LHaRGB, the Ha is still orange though, not had the clear skies to take any more subs on this without the moon sitting close by.
