Description

In the photos above I have included several different edits and they are as follows.
1: HOO / rgb stars
2: SHO / rgb stars
3: HOO / Lrgb
4: SHO / Lrgb
5:  Standard Lrgb


This image has been a work in progress for nearly a month but I am FINALLY FINISHED! The months of September and October were extremely kind to me in regards to clear skies. My main goal here was to invest ample time to bring out the nebulae within another galaxy. In this case.. M33, the Triangulum Galaxy. 
The active regions in this galaxy are abundant  so what better way to capture them than with 3nm SHO filters? It was definitely an endeavor I was unsure of until I started capturing sii data.. Which there was plenty of.
In addition to the narrowband data, I have never had the chance to capture this using standard broadband filters either. I live in bortle 7 skies so this target was never really on my list considering its low surface brightness. I need the LRGB data to combine with my SHO data to achieve the look I wanted so I thought “What the hell, let's get a full LRGB data set as well. 15hrs were invested into Lum data and 10hrs were invested into the RGB data. More data here would help but dark skies would ultimately be the cure for the issues I ran into with broadband filters.
As far as the narrowband data goes, I collected 25hrs of each to be sure I was capturing enough to bring out the fainter bits of nebulosity in m33. This was actually a good amount and was so much fun to work with.

This is my largest project to do and I really hope you enjoy it!
