Description

This is my first attempt at LRGB imaging and also my deepest integration to date. The image turned out better than I expected (at least for my modest skill level.) The small pixel size (2.2 micron width) of this CMOS camera appears to be a good match for this object and the short focal length of the scope. I should have been a bit more careful in fine tuning the focus on the B filter (some of the brighter stars have a noticeable blue halo.) If I have a chance to come back to to M33 later, I would like to get some more Ha data as well.
