Hi again all!
No doubt you all know M33,but would you expect someone so far south to be shooting It? Well,I like galaxies and until I get a longer focal length scope my choices are limited so here It is.
Object: M33 (Triangulum)
Exposure: 10 minutes x 21 guided
Camera: SXVF-M25c
Telescope: FSQ106N
Software: AA4/CS4
Location: Yalbraith,N.S.W,Australia
Thanks for looking !

Hi Louie Thats a great image, especially for the short exposure time and your location. You must have some really dark skies. Terry

Louie, I like the way that you imaged M33. I like the details in the arms, and the colors. That image came out great for being so south as you are. David

Thanks Dug! M33 sits at around 20deg from where I was shooting,so low but still very doable.
