M33 reprocessed



I reprocessed this image to try to bring out more detail. It was a tough image to process. Firstly, I had used my camera, a canon 450D, in the afternoon to photograph in the studio at work under tungsten lights and had white balanced for that and I forgot to switch back to daylight for the astrophotography in the evening. So I shot all of my subs and darks white balanced for tungsten. The other problem was I was only able to get 18 subs at 75 sec each before the clouds rolled in. That coupled with the fact that I haven't modified my camera for Ha yet makes for a difficult time processing. But I actually think it turned out not too badly for a newbie to astrophotography.
