ASTRO: Messier 33

I took this one late Sunday night/Monday morning. I had some problems with
fogging late, so I wasn't able to use all of the images I had hoped to use
for this one. But considering this is my first attempt at this object, it
isn't too bad, though it doesn't show the Ha regions very well.

About the photo:

7 four-minute exposures at ISO 800, for a total of 28 minutes,
one five-minute dark

Equipment:

Modified Konus 200 f5 Newtonian with Baader coma corrector
80 mm Orion shorty for autoguiding with the starshooter autoguider
Losmandy G-11 Gemini Go To on the large Losmandy tripod
Hutech Modified Canon T1i with UV Infrared cut astronomy filter (allows
transmission of Ha)

Taken On Sunday, September 5, 2010 at Taylorsville Lake, Anderson County,
Kentucky.

Enjoy,

George

Reasonable investment, decent results.
Nicely done George.

Thanks, Richard. I wish I had taken more images of M33, but the sky was so
good that night that I couldn't resist taking photos of as many different
objects as my computer battery would allow. I plan to take more pictures of
fewer objects next time. I may even concentrate on one single object for a
change, if things work out like they did for me Sunday.

Thanks. I had a bit of luck with the weather, and my mount was working
properly that night. I've tried it before and it looked lousy.
