M33 in a Different Light

Steve Herman took some pictures through his telescope. Here is one of them, progressively enhanced to show detail, using various rendering options in HEASARC's FV software. Steve's original image (top, left) was M33 - he might not recognize some of these other images as his. His original CCD image of M33 was taken with an ST 7E on a 78mm Takahashi F8.1.  It is a combination of 21 5-minute images combined after being dark-subtracted. No other processing had been done. No flat field, no hot and cold pixel removal - nothing.  And look what we did to it!
