M33 Triangulum Galaxy! Imaged from my back yard over multiple sessions spanning two years, this image is not only the longest integration I've done, but also the first time I've done an HaRGB integration to bring out the nebulae inside M33. The detail in the nebulae inside M33 are incredible! Zoom in and panning around to see!

A stunner! Picture perfect. I'm on my phone atm and can't wait to get to my laptop, so I can enjoy this one on a bigger screen.

It's incredible, and a real testament to how good you are at this, that this image was assembled over a two year period. Wow!

You photographing the comet? Wanted to yesterday but it clouded up by sunset.

Another amazing image.

I counted 14 total galaxies in this image. Many very small but still there.

Some of the nebulosity is quite stunning at full zoom.
