I took this over 2 evenings with my Celestron C11 v4 HyperStar and 2600 mc (gain 100, -10C) camera. M33 has a lot of HA in it, and so I wanted to try to capture the texture of the nebulae within the galaxy. WBPP was used to calibrate, debayer, register, normalize, and integrate. The drizzle master was processed in PI. I did not use Star Exterminator here. When I tried it, I got weird artifacts in the stars image, and after stretch and recombine of the starless and stars image, it did not look right. So, I just did GHS on the image, and tweaked the processed image in Adobe Photoshop (Camera Raw Smart Filter).

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.
