Been a while, since I had time and the opportunity to capture a deep sky object. I had hoped to have more imaging time, but I guess you have to take what you get
As soon as I get a chance to get more light from M33, I will go for it, because I think there is so much more detail to get in those lovely spiral arms!
First time I used Starkeeper Voyager for the imaging. After getting used to it, it is so robust and reliable to use. Just great!
Capturing images on 2021-10-27/28 with LRGBHa filters for a total of (3h28m/1h10m/1h1m/1h3m/6h10m)=12h53m, but used only the best (58/72/74/71/55%)=7h47m of all images. The images tossed away were the worst in regard to FWHM and median (#stars) due to wind blowing, neighbor's lights that went on from time to time, and the overall light pollution in the west.
Processing in PixInsight and final Stretching in Lightroom.
Since I am quite new to PixInsight and processing data, I am not sure if I might have done it ok or maybe overdid it (i.e. the sharpening or creating the right mask for the denoise).
