M33 - The Triangulum Galaxy

19:02 30/9/2005 UTC

This is my another image from Deepsky Meet. The transparency dropped significantly due to humidity and this was the last image I managed to take. Mount problems went worse and I had to shorten my exposures to one minute, but as my camera was cooler, ISO1600 was an option. I am pretty happy with this image, lots of details. There are many smudges in the image.
