Description

I wanted to highlight the structures in the most prominent of M33's spiral arms. I used a bit of creative license on this one and did bump up saturation just a bit to bring out the faint Ha regions throughout the arm. The image is a bit rough still as it is an aggressive crop, but I find I get lost in the depth if I look at it for a time and hop from feature to feature. This is a preview of a planned session with the C11Edge, which should provide a smoother, deeper and more satisfying image.
