M33 from High Halden

[RobertM]

This was the image I took before being distracted by M42.  I've tried to bring out some of the core detail which usually gets saturated in processing.  Stars are a little squiffy and there's a red gradient top right but they aren't too bad.

Hyperstar 11 with Canon 1000D@ISO 400 and IDAS LPS-P2 filter

11 * 300s stacked and calibrated in MaximDL and processed in Pixinsight.  Got distracted by M42 so stopped at 11 subs.

Wow! 
That is scarily good for less than 1 hour of data.

F2 is awesome for collecting photons.

Agree with Mark - Looks very good for time.... How you getting on with Pixinsight? Often looked at getting this myself but never really justified the expense...

John, PI has transformed the way I process images and I've only just scratched the surface.  I have a copy of the legit free version (1.1) if you wish to give it a try.
