SkyShed Observatories Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Hi guys, Messier 33 - Triangulum Galaxy from last week. This one is interesting because it's so close, and has so many stars that it looks very "granular". The tendency is to want to smooth those out in processing but that would be a mistake. It should look granular to see those billions of stars. This was a bonus capture in the 90 minutes after Andromeda, and before dawn. I could only capture so much detail in 90 minutes. I'll take it! 90 is better than none. I kept is this one toned down in processing for a more natural look. Details - 45 X 120 sec Lights (90 Minutes Total) Celestron 14" Edge HD Hyperstar V.4 - f1.9 SkyWatcher EQ-8 Pro Rh Altair 26C Pro TEC Altair Pro Max LP Filter SkyShed POD MAX SkyShed Pier Captured with Sharpcap Green Swamp Server For SkyWatcher Post Processing - Pixinsight CS!

Greg M Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Spectacular. This would be great with about 90 minutes of Ha data added to it. Congrats Wayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraic M Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Well done Wayne - it's not an easy target, and you've got great detail for 90 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carastro Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Great image for 90 minutes, but you did say hyperstar, so that speeds things up. It's not an east target I have found. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAR Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Excellent image, really good colours and resolution right towards the core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
