Description

Combination of two nights worth of data on M33. I kinda goofed up my ISO settings so I ended up with what looks like to the app as 3 nights. I started my second night at the ISO setting I used from the previous night for my flat darks, which for me is ISO160 for 6secs to match my flats. So that was where my camera was set when I started my second session. In making sure I had the rotation right for the second nights data to match the first, because I took my camera off to shoot M74 through my 12". In doing that I just missed re-adjusting my ISO to 800 which is what I shoot all my subs at. Anyway half way through the night I noticed I had failed to re-adjust my ISO so I figured I didn't want to loose 2.5 hours and heck why not use it to see what could come of adding it to the mix, but I readjusted my ISO to 800 and finished out the night. I just made sure to capture darks to match both sets of lights, and ran it as 3 nights data instead of just 2 in Sirilic for Siril. I'm very pleased with the result. Not getting much color but that could just be a fact that I'm not shooting long exposure subs. S/N ratio is suffering from the short exposures. Or a light pollution issue. Maybe I'll try shooting my next set through my Triband filter and see if I can get some color to add to the mix.
