Default M33

hi guys,

I`d like to introduce my M33, taken with my 5" Tmb Apo.
the night was young when I started and transparency was very good at the bginning.
6m5 - but it rapadidly falled under 2m0 - due to fog,...
well - I was lucky to collect some data for 70 minutes.

data on the image:
titel: M33
observatory site: stargazer private observatory, Mühlviertel near Linz, Austria, Europe
date: December 2006 - final processing completed today...
scope: 5" Tmb Apo f/9 @f/7 (TeleVue 0,8 reducer)
Camera: CCD: SXV M25C
exposure time: 70 minutes (2,4,6,8,10 minutes frames)
software: image acquisition, colorconversion and stacking (average) in AstroArt4
postprocessing: PS CS2 (multilayer) and PixIS - LE (masks fpr smoothing the background)

so here we are:


medium sized:

full resolution (crop):

Beautiful image of a very difficult object.

BTW, is PixIS - LE = PixInsight LE?
