M33 is always a challenge and always interesting. From my back yard M33 is never more than a ghostly veil even in my 16.5” Newtonian, so it’s a thrill to not only be able to image it but to also capture a reasonable amount of detail. The distant star clouds in the outer arms are particularly fascinating.
