Description

This is mostly data from 2022, but I did get some date a few days ago.  The data I just captured was short unguided exposures as I had switched to my Mono camera which has a OAG, but I could not find a good guide star, so I ended taking real short exposures.

I was motivated to re process my data after seeing Trevor's (Astro Backyard) M33 image which really emphasized the various emission nebulas in M33.  In the mouse over you can see 4 NGC emission nebulas and 7 IC nebula objects.  The largest is a star forming region identified as NGC 604 that has over 200 hot, young, massive stars.  

NGC 595 is a diffuse nebula with a large region of ionised hydrogen.  NGC 592 is another large emission nebula that contains several massive stars, including at least four Wolf-Rayet type stars.
