Messier 33 the Triangulum Galaxy

This is the first chance in a few weeks to do astrophotography. The moon was at 50% on my target's opposite side of the sky. I took 45 ea 3-minute exposures with my RedCat51 telescope and ASI533 cooled color camera with a light pollution filter to make it possible from Los Angeles.
Messier 33 is 2.75 million light years from the Milky Way and is part of the local group of galaxies, like our next-door neighbor.
Processed in Pixinsight, then heavily worked in Lightroom to make it presentable. N ext time, I am going to use a narrowband filter to see if I can resolve any Ha areas in the spiral arms.

Has the image been converted to B&W?

No, I used a Light Pollution filter, and the image came out this way. Next chance I will do an imaging session with a narrowband filter and combine the data.

Nice work. Adding Ha data to the image of M33 will bring out a lot of the star forming areas. I have used Ha as the red channel for an LRGB image and it works nicely. https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-757752-1.html
