2025-02-25 16:25:46In October 2024, I revisited Messier 33, also known as the Triangulum Galaxy, the third-largest member of our Local Group of galaxies. This galaxy holds special significance for me, as it was among the first celestial objects I photographed three years prior. Taking advantage of a moonless evening, I aimed to capture its intricate details once more.
The imaging session proceeded smoothly, albeit with slightly below-average seeing conditions. Guiding performance remained relatively stable throughout the evening, fluctuating between 0.5 and 0.8. To enhance image sharpness, I adjusted the automated refocusing interval from 1°C to 0.75°C, a setting I plan to maintain for future sessions.
Processing was conducted using Stellarmate OS for capture, with subsequent refinement in PixInsight and Affinity Photo.
