Description

Well known to Astrobin users,  M33 is a Local Group member, at 2.7 MLY distant. 
It is about 60% the size of the Milky Way.   It's proximity allows the capture of fine details. 
I imaged this December 5 and 6, 2023, from i Telescope's Utah site. 
Used a Takahashi  TOA-150 refractor.   2 hours integration, 30 x 4 minutes, with a single shot color camera. 
This is an improvement over my last attempt, and am happy with some progress.    
Mostly processed with Pixinsight. 
Regards, Tom Schmidtkunz
