Triangulum Galaxy - M33

[JimFox]

This is the Triangulum Nebula, M33 that I captured about 10 days ago. It's really fun being able to get so much more detail since I now have an astro camera, the ASIair 2600mc Pro.

Lights - 36 images @120 secs
Flats - 20
Darks - 10

Great result Jim. You've captured the arms really well !

Great detail here Jim, I expect to the naked eye, this is simply a dot.

Nice work Jim, happy to hear you are liking the camera.

Thanks Carlos! I like how it turned out, though I think it's got a bit too much of a magenta cast too it. When I tried to correct it, I just didn't like the results so I left it like this.

Looks nice.

Might be even less then a dot Ben. This one is pretty small.

I appreciate that Chuck. Yeah, the new camera is really awesome. It's nice to be using all real astro gear, minus the scope where I am still using my Tamron 150-600mm lens. But the real important parts, the Astro camera, the guide camera, and the ASIair Pro to control it is all astro. It was a bit of a jump going from using my Nikon D850, but the transition has been pretty smooth, and I keep getting more comfortable with it each time.

Good job Jim, given how large this is, this is actually a fainter object than many realize. You have started to get some of the harder to capture details in this one.
