Like Willie, I had some problems. The Lum frames were slightly out of focus (probably because of sleep deprivation) and showed some elongation, which may have been from my Dec motor assembly failing. Anyway, here it is in RGB. i binned these 2x2 intended as a color background for the Lum frame, but alas, it was not to be. The brighter stars have a vertical and ventral spike from the two wires leading off of the camera as mounted on the Hyperstar.

I shot this on my now sidelined LX850 mount using my Celestron 1100 Edge HD scope, Hyperstar primary lenses, and a SX814 mono camera with Astronomic 1.25" filters. Exposure time was 150 seconds per frame x 10 in RGB. Captured, pre and regular stacking and processing in Nebulosity 4, with final color fine tuning in Adobe Lightroom 5.5.

Hi Jeff. Good picture. M33 is hard to get right.

Nice job, Jeff. You have a much darker background and more detail I think.
