The Starry Triangulum Galaxy (Messier 33)

I had the impression that the M33 is a tough subject to process. And indeed it is. The original plan was to capture the M33 with the IFN. That was tough. Actually, I started to see the faint IFN starting to show up but lost the patience. I wish I acquired more Ha data. More or less the H-II regions are not pronounced enough. There is always next time!

This image is a central tight crop from the TOA-130NS FOV with the ASI6200mm-Pro. The idea for the processing is to show the spiral arms of the galaxy (made of tiny stars!) and the dust lane around the core. I didn't try to really stretch the color and push the contrast. Just want to give it a more "gentle" look & feel.

Galaxy season is coming!

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.
