M33 from CSP

I started imaging M33 from home last month, and I continued gathering more subs last weekend at the Connecticut Star Party. Here is the result of the combined data.

Thanks for looking.

The vividness of the colors in this image is simply stunning! The amount of star forming going on out there is mindboggling.

Andy you've GOT to start publishing your work, even if only in the gallery sections
of Sky and Telescope and Astronomy to start! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
You can be an inspiration to so many.

We are already inspired. Stunned perhaps, but inspired.
