Description

The data for this came from my club's remotely operated robotic telescope. The scope is located at the club's site in Terra Del Sol, California. It is a 14" RCOS with a FLI PL16803 camera equipped with Astrodon filters. The telescope uses ACP scheduler that tasks it every night weather permitting. This telescope is also being used to confirm exoplanet candidates for NASA's TESS program.

This is the first telescope of it's size that I've been able to work with. I am amazed at the resolution. At first glance you don't notice it, but as you zoom into the image you can see the stars that make up the galaxy . A sharp eye can see many background galaxies (I counted 17) including some that are showing thru M33. All the various Ha emissions are interesting as well.

I processed the image as a HaLRGB.
